    If the tangs are small, that's actually the most reasonable list I've seen you post. Like divott said, you will need way more rock, though. Also, from your price list on page 1, you will not need to spend $1,200 for lighting on a FOWLR.

    Also, don't expect to dump everything into the bigger tank all at once. There's no hurry, so take your time and let everything get well established.

    The eel and the lion fish will very likely eat the firefish, and quite possibly the clown and angel, as they get bigger.

    The filtration isn't enough to keep these all in the tank, either, with only 10 lbs of live rock. Live rock is there for the express purpose of filtration. If it weren't for it's effectiveness as a filter medium, they wouldn't have started putting the stuff in tanks 30 years ago to begin with. The aesthetics of it came to be appreciated long after.

    that seems like an awful lot of sand. are you wanting a deep sand bed? probably be about 6 inches deep.
