Not that I can answer you on the question of the fish, but how big is the tank you're using? Seems like that would be a big help to know.

Yeah... It would have to be at least a 150 for the things you've named. Especially with all of the inter-species of clowns you listed.

-what type of lighting are you using?
-what size tank?
-the alveopora is known to die within months so i would take that off the list
-3 different clowns are not gunna work

I didn't read through the entire list, I stopped with the variety of clowns that you have. As a rule of thumb, only one type of clown per tank or you can lose some by aggression.
As stated, the size of the tank you're planning would also help greatly. From what I saw, you would need a pretty sizeable tank.

50gallon/live rock
Ocean HQI Double Ended Metal Halide Bulbs 10000k 250 watts
nvm about the nemos ill cancell the alvepora, ill just get a pair of black and white clowns.
it's like a rectangle going upwards, but the good thing is the LR will have alot of tunnels and stuff for them to swim/hide, plus it will be in different levels, stacked;
24"width x22"thick x36" high
:cheer: :thinking:

1 pair of clowns.
No tangs!
BTA's need MH lighting which is gonna run u like $300 for the fixture
Corals will most likely be fine as long as their spaced enough apart, and u have the correct protien skimmer and lighting.
You still are about 4 fish to many. id only add about 4 to 5 fish to a 50 gallon.

I don't think you understand how the ecosystem of a Salt Water tank works. Its Not the Size of the Fish and btw all fish swim and they will swim every inch of open water in your tank. Fish need lots of room to feel comfortable. It dosnt matter how small they are, you can only have so many at a time or they get stressed and unhappy.
My suggestion to you is to go to your local Library and take out some books on keeping saltwater fish or buy some. This is an expensive hobby that needs to be well researched and well planned out.
And thats 150g not 50g thats 2/3s more than what u have. Yellow Tangs can hit like 7-8 inches I believe.

Clowns really arent my strong point, id say any of them as long as its one species. I like the False Percs. The concern I had about the BTA's was the fact that they do more around alot and in a 50 u could be facing some chemical warfare. Which can kill all your livestock. Just letting you know.

Sea pens need at least a 12" sandbed to bury their foot in.
The reason why linkias need big tanks is because they need a lot of LR to feed off of. 100+ lbs

That's a 12" layer of sand, maybe even more depending on the size of the sea pen. They're also not photosynthetic and must be fed a lot.
