    You're forgetting the coolest fish ever, the mandarin. But only get it after you know you have the right pod population first.

    Thanks for those quick replies, I am looking more on the lines of do these fish seems compatible with each other and in a reef. Please Do not give me LiveAquaria Reef safe info as I love their photos but their advice isn't alwas that solid.

    Don't worry about the filtration. I have a Reef Octopus NWB250 which is rated for 312-390gallons, and Octopus is usually under-rated. I will also have a Biopellet canister, and a phos/carbon dual unit. Plus I have an extra 110 gallons underneath of it, 55 of being a refuge made from my current tank.

    I can't stand those things, they are hard to keep and in my humble opinion ugly as hell.

    Might have trouble with that many tangs. Good size tank, but if a problem happens it will be with the tangs fighting. IMO

    I think with the size you will be fine with multiple tangs, but be really careful with that clown tang as they can get very aggressive with the other fish. Once again with your size you may be ok but I would add him very last.

    Thanks JW I believe the same, and yes the Clown will be the last fish added if added at all.
