new 220 gallon

[jcrim]

Hello all... my fish addiction is raging out of control and I just purchased a 220 gallon set up for an upgrade for my current fish. The livestock that is already going into the tank is the following:
medium epaullette shark
small yellow stingray
medium purple tang
medium naso tang
I need stocking suggestions for the tank. Thinking about the following:
2 heniochus (heard they do better in pairs)
sohal tang
possibly a harlequin tusk (don't know if it will nip my shark?)
Anybody have feedback or other suggestions. I need something docile enough that it will not nip at the shark or ray but also tough enough not to be picked on by the shark... he has already eaten 5 damsels, 1 cleaner wrasse and he beat up a maroon clown. :happyfish

Outstanding! Congrats... I wonder about the heniochus... They are butterflies and those aren't recommended shark mates... :notsure: definitely wouldn't trust the h.tusk with your shark.

I appreciate your input... what should I put in there? Few tangs? Miniatus grouper would probably work. A tiera batfish may get beat up.
