Help me stock my 72G Reef

[black cobra]

Well I am in the depths of getting my water parameters perfect. Atleast as close as I can.
In the meantime any of you who want to help me stock my tank I am all for it

Right now I have:
2 False Clowns
2 Serpent Stars
15 Hermit Crabs
20 Snails
I would like to add some nice colorful "REEF SAFE" fish to the tank but unsure. Thats where you guys come in

I like the 6-line wrasse and I think you could pull off a yellow tang (others might disagree).
Then I would add 3-4 green chromis. Pretty much what I've done with my tank as it gives a wide color variation -- everyone is peaceful to each other and they have their own behaviors to make them different.

I like the look of the six line as well but the guys at my LFS said it would become very territorial and mean with my clowns....
I really like the Pygmy Carib Angel. How do you think that would work?

"reef safe" angels are all dependant on that particular angel you get -- not the species itself.
My six-line leaves everyone alone... he just swims through the rock work looking around. One of my favorite additions.

get a yellow tang and depending on what lights you have, you could get some nice sps colonies

Personally I would go with the Kole Tang...JMO. You could also go with a flame hawk, twin spot hog, possum wrasse and a fridmani or a royal gramma. That would give nice color and activity

get a sixline, but put it in last. Theyre awesome fish and are pretty handy if your tank gets some flatworms. other than that. add a goby, kole tangs are nice to keep algae under control.

They are usually fine together mine are, and my sixline is atleast 2-3x bigger than my clown.
