What do you think? Stocking my 100 gal

Hey guys, just looking for an opinion on stocking list;

trio of lyretail anthias
Orchid dottyback
3 bangai cardinal fish
3 purple fire fish
flame angelfish
bi-color angel
Yellow tang

I have a 55 gal I can put the flame or bi-bolor in if they don't "make it work". I was thinking of a sand shifter of some sort but haven;t settled yet. I would also like a "show piece" fish but not really sure what to do (the rally awesome tangs and angelfish need more room). thanks for the help guys

 

Doesnt look too bad. I have a lyretail, very nice active in the column fish. I recently picked up a Barletts and it is likewise proving to be a very active fish, and definitely very attractive looking. I've read they can be harder to keep but I got mine from ibluewater & it was eating almost literally out the box.

Just me personally I am not a yellow tang fan, they are kinda standard issue to me. Have you given any thought to maybe a foxface? They are pretty good algae eaters and pretty active like a tang.

For a bottom fish what about a shrimp/goby combo?

 

looks good to me, however some anthias can be hard to take care of and for sand sifting diamand gobys do great and watchman goby look pretty cool so +1 to the shrimp goby combo, if you want something a little more interesting conch snails sift fairly well to from my knowledge if its a FOWLR some triggers are pretty cool looking like the queen or clown

 

Kole tang (Ctenochaetus strigosus), Two Spot (Ctenochaetus binotatus), or Spotted Tang (Ctenochaetus truncatus) might be nice for a Centerpiece fish.

 

I really like trigger fish and volitan lions but I am looking to have corals in the tank. Heck, I already have mushroom and cabbage coral

 

cant help you there then but have you thought about any dwarf angels?

 

Yes, I am going to try rolling with 2. Flame and Bi-color

 

any other thoughts?
