    That's a lot of fish, the loin and the eel are pretty mean and will eat the more docile fish like the goby and the blenny.

    You will not be able to keep all of these fish in the same tank.
    You will have to do some research as to the environment of each of these fish in order to see the compatibility and then re-work your stocking plan.
    A few of those fish such as the eel, lion fish, and dragon-net have specific feeding requirements that you will need to know about. And the fact that the dragon-net just slowly moves around the tank not paying much attention looking for pods it will be an easy target for the eel or lion fish.

    Have you given Matt's "3 Steps" articles a read? They're very helpful for folks who are just starting out :)

    Godbert I was looking at your livestock wishlist and I noticed you wanted a condylaticus- not a bad choice but just remember these guys are known to do some extensive traveling and can sting or even kill some other corals. All the advise you are getting here is good- the number 1 impoertant thing is to TAKE YOUR TIME AND RESEARCH- this will save alot of pain AND alot of money. As far as buying equiptment I usally Google the item I want and look for the best deal and if I can get it on one of our forum sponsors that's even better because thier reputatuions are well known here- good luck
