New-need guidance

Hello. New to hobby. 120 gal tank, 70 lb live rock; great filtration; going for about 2 months. Just added pair of maroon gold stripe clowns. All is good. The following are the fish on my list (I was told to make a list) that I would like to add over time; any suggestions whether they are good/bad, and if good what order; naso tang, purple tang, foxface, orchid dottyback, longnose hawk, coral beauty, some wrasse and some goby. Thanks for the help and suggestions

IMO you need at least 1+ pounds of live rock per gallon of water. I take it your tank has cycled..have you tested your water? be especially careful not to add too many of these fish at the same time. When I stocked my tank I added one fish at a time about a month apart. Takes a while but loading your tank up all at once will throw your cycle off kilter and can wipe out the whole tank in no time.

Do you plan to expand into reefkeeping, or just FOWLR?

thanks; tank has cycled; water is good; would like to go the reef direction; plan on adding the fish slowly and invertebrates same

Well, if you plan on going into reef, I would recommend almost doubling the amount of live rock that you have and dropping the hawk because it may eat shrimp, if you want to add shrimp to your tank.
