this sound like too much? (this is over several months of slow additions.
I'm thinking about getting a snowflake moray too. Given plenty of places to hide and you keep the top covered I don't see a problem with putting one into a 46g. Just make sure you do small water changes the day after you feed. A 46g tank will become polluted quickly when used as an aggressive tank. FYI, "a very small one" is only the size at the time you purchase it...they will still grow.
actually, that's what I thought (the eels growing larger), but i was toldr ecently that you can buy smaller ones, and they'll stay small in a small environment.
you were told wrong, marine fishes will outgrow their environment. Which brings me to tell you...46g is less than half the size tank you need for a powder blue tang. Everything else looks okay.
edit...be very careful in which species of wrasse you choose, I have heard many times these don't do well in home aquariums and/or are difficult to keep.
