My updated fish list, good or bad?

[azfishgal]

OK, I listed this on my diary, but I've updated it and thought I would get more of a response here. For those of you who have not been to my diary (shame on you

), I have a 125 reef tank with 160 lbs lr, 100 lbs ls, clean up crew (2 shrimp, snails, 3 emerald crabs) and just added my two false percs (they are loving it). For the rest of my fish list this is what I'd like to get AND the order of which I plan to add them. Please, any comments are welcome on fish or the order.
Pair of Bangaii Cardinals
Diamond Goby
Yellow-faced Jawfish (still unsure on this one)
Royal Gramma
Blue Hippo Tang
3 Lyretail Anthias (one male, two females)
Sailfin Tang
Yellow Tang
Flame Angel (if I'm not overstocked at this point)
So what do you think? I would like to get a lot of feedback because I'm determined to do this right. Oh, and everything (inlcuding any corals I add) will spend a 3-4 weeks in QT, so this will be done slowly.
Here's a picture of my tank:

I'm not sure I'll be able to do that, because my QT is not that big. I actually want to get a 20L before I get any of my tangs, but not sure that will happen. Right now my QT is only 10 gallons, not ideal I know, but better than not having a QT at all. BUT, if I get another tank I can QT both fish AND coral at the same time. :thinking: Sounds like a good argument to me.

I was re-thinking my fish list and these are the changes I am concidering.
Skip the Jawfish
Get only 1 anthias, instead of three.
Adding 6 Blue Green Reef Chromis (read they do better in a school of 6, and since they stay small 6 should be ok, right?)
Any input from the experienced reefers would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!
BTW, my Bangaii Cardinals are doing great in the QT. Whoever said these were slow boring fish, must have never had them. They become sharks when it comes feeding time, leaving no trace of food left.

I really like these fish.

i say add the sailfin and yellow at the same time becuz theyre both the same shape, and if not added at the same time theyll establish territories and kill one another

I agree with the above. I would also add them last. One of the biggest newbie mistakes I have ever done is add my yellow tang as one of the first fish.

i wouldnt even put the two tangs together...i wouldnt chance it.

Tangs are fine together. You might want to add them together like the other people said above me though.

 

[azfishgal]

My tangs will be the last to go in, so no worries there, for the simple fact tangs need a more established tank, so it wouldn't make much sense to put them in now.

(I think I'm going to forget about the Flame Angel, it would be to much I think.) I'm hoping to get my 20L tank which will allow me to QT two small tangs together (yellow and sailfin).
What about the Chromis? Any feedback on that?

i just picked up 2 small orangetail damsels last night...they look cool and are very active..already swimming around like theyve lived in my tank their whole lives!! a bit more pricey then normal damsels tho..about 12bux a piece...they dont bother my other fish because they were added last..but id assume that they would bother my LMB if i added the other way around..so make them last along with ur sailfin and yellow.

I love the chromis those will be the last fish I put in my tank only going to add 3.

I was thinking of 3 as well, but read somewhere they do better with 6 because they are schooling fish. Is this true?

 

[mace]

from what I have read they do better in odd numbers (could just be me reading it wrong) and yes they are a schooling fish but I have a small tank and dont want to add a large number and have them be stressed and not make it. that is why I was thinking of 3.
