planned stocking list

[dreamandscheme]

i'm planning on turning my 85gal. tank to saltwater. so far my list includes:
harlequin tusk
zebra lion
fuzzy lion
will these three work together?? maybe some suggestions for other mid water fish that will thrive with these? it would be a fish only tank w/sand and live rock. thanks in advance!

The Zebra and the Fuzzy would be ok, but I would just caution with the HT. some wrasses will get along with lionfish and sometimes you want so it is a definate crap shoot with that combo

HT's are VERY passive typically. I've kept one with a Volitan and lots of smaller fish without issue.
I think you'll be fine as long as the active wrasse doesn't swim into a stinger.

the ht is the #1 fish i want, so if i have to choose i would scratch the lions first. what about the fu manchu lions seeing they tend to stay on the bottom?

I would steer clear for those particular lions. Most people that I knew who have had them, typically lose them. They are very picky eaters, and can be hard to get a feeding response to. If the HT is passive, then I would say the fuzzy and a Zebra would be a great tankmates... i will admit I do the like the HT as well...
