    the list looks much more reasonable without all the yellow tangs, i think alot of us overestimate the size of a tank like that. including me lol.

    but you gotta agree with me, a school of yellow tangs would look pretty cool tho..

    indeed it would, it would be doable if you put little else in the tank

    nah, a naso would do fine in anything bigger than a 125

    this is a fair amount.. ( maybe on the high end as you have bigger sized fish)...
    i love the idea of the anthias for schooling fish!! i was actually going to do that for my tank but anthias are kind of expensive for me so i did chromis instead, and it worked out amazingly ::)

    cant go wrong with a foxface! i love mine, although mine isnt the magnificent.. i like the yellow color better as it pops out more.

    also.. just IMO.. helfrichi are kinda small ( to see) in a 150G tank. but they might look really cool.

    i would add the fox face first.
    then the firefish
    then the clowns
    then the anthias
    then wrasses
    then the triggers
    then the blonde naso
    then the tusk
    then the purple tang

    i believe thats the best way to go, docile fish first... then the more agresive ones.. i also took into account the amount of time the tank has to be established before adding the fish..
    i would add the anthias a bit later that what i placed them in but the other fish could be agressive towards them if you do.. maybe add the wrasses then the anthias..
