    Looks great. I would add the clowns first. Then the blenny,six-line,and the dottyback last.8)

    Actually my LFS just told me that the harptail blenny they have was a fluke and they wont be able to get anymore. Would adding it before the clowns create any really big problems?

    No that would be fine. The clowns can handle themselves.8)
    Your quite welcome. Good luck and snap some pics when you can.;)

    Okay I got the harptail blenny this afternoon. I was just in time too ;D Another customer was stocking a 150g tank and had his eye on the blenny also so I snatched it up. I drip aclimated him for 2 hours and he's doing really well in the tank. Being very explorative and he ate some new life spectrum pellets

    Congrats!! Good luck with it.There is no need to drip acclimate for that long IMO. You are only causing the fish more stress. Half hour is plenty.IMO;)
