Would like some advice on stocking my newly ordered 150.
the main 2 fish i want are a brazilian dragon eel, and a emperor angel. i know the angel will eventually get to get i think, but from what i have been reading it will be a couple years. So i could always upgrade. was just wondering what you would put in with those 2 fish tanks.

In that size tank? A bunch of Blue Reef & Green Reef Chromis, along with a mix of various Damsels.
Stick to your centerpieces and keep it simple.
But I'm basing this on the 150g I was looking at 6'x2'x2'. A lot will depend on your tank dimensions. If this is a 6' tank you could probably add a large tang and a large wrasse into the mix.
But be warned Brazilians are known to be fish eaters and can suprise you.

I like the dragon wrasse,red coris wrasse, or the harlequin tusk. how would one of them work out. I am not that much of a tang fan

Any of these large wrasse should work well. You'll have to be careful with your angel purchase. Smaller ones usually adapt better; but it has to be big enough to avoid being eel food. I know almost nothing about eels; but have heard of some dragon eels grabbing fish that the owner amused to be safe. BTW, there are some great Australian Tusks on the market now, they are more available in the spring/summer.

Probably; you just never know with wrasse. IME. tusks don't bother anything they can't eat. Be sure you do some research on these fish; I wouldn't consider either an "easy" fish and the dragon can be especially difficult. Lots of folks are surprised when the juvi dragon grows into a totally different fish. They have lots of personality, but like to rearrange the rockwork.

well my tank got delayed a week. So gives me time to put my sump together and get my protein skimmer. I have had a salt water tank in the past but no aggresive fish. I was wondering what fish i would add first. I am guessing the eel first and the angel last. but some of you info would be appreciated
