Asking for advise

I must say. I just joined today and I have learned more in the reading that I have done during the past hour than all the advise given to me by the people who run the store where I buy my fish.
I thought that my 120gal tank was big enough. However, most of you seem to keep a lot less in my tank. Please advise as to what I should get rid of. I do not have any live rock in my tank, should I invest a few dollars?
120 Gal
Wet/dry filter
1 large yellow tang
1 Med blue tang
1 Med sailfin tang
1 med sebae clown
1 cleaner wrasse
2 yellow headed sleeper gobies (pair)
5 small green chromis
:confused:

God speed to you...You see that 125 gallon is capable of holding 2 of those large fish, 2 gobies, your 5 chromis, and wrasse for life. Take 2 of the large specimens back and use the credit you recive from those too pruchase AS MUCH LR AS YOU CAN! Upwards of 80lbs if you can afford, make sure it is well cured. Then sitback and wait...watch your ammonia and nitrite, if either spike do a 5 gallon water change and hope for the best. How long has the tank been set-up?

CGR,
You are a terrific example for people!!
You will find that people here have nothing to sell you. And we will be more than happy to help with any questions you have, so ask away!
One way to start this is to ask what you want your tank to be in the end. Are there any fish you have that you really like, and want to keep? Let's work from there! Are there any fish that you really always expected to have? Let's see if we can get that to work!
And I agree, get whatever LR you can get. This will help a lot, because it gives fish places to hide, things to graze on, and is generally a more natural habitat for them.
Again, excellent decision!! :D

Just another note about the rock, it also adds to the aesthetics, and builds a natural biofilter as well, and well, you will never get tired of looking at/for new things in the tank, bc with LR nobody knows what all you will wind up with.

I would like to keep my three tangs. However, I realize that if I keep them and might not be able to introduce an angel in the future. Must keek the blue tang which I bought no bigger than a quarter. The yellow tang I have had for a while and the sailfin I bought about two months ago. The are all doing very well.
Should I just keep what I have minus the chromis?
