here are the fish i would like.

2 false percula clownfish
2 black and white false percula
1 yellow tang
1 lipstick tank
1 powder blue tang (are they the smallest of the blue ones?)
1 flame angel
1 lawnmower blenny

Thats my list at the moment. Im sure ill want a few others down the track. I have read that i should put all the clownfish together at one time, same with tangs. Since i am QT first, i am worried that 4 clownfish at a time will be too much bioload? i was thinking if i get 2 one week, and the next 2 the second week and keep them in QT for about 5 weeks?
QT is 20g

So, that is about a 140 gallons, if my math is correct. -- How long is your tank?

First, I would only go for one pair of clowns; IMO/E, more then one pair of clowns will end poorly.

Going off the size of your tank, I have a feeling that your tank is not nearly long enough for a "lipstick" tang (( assuming that you are referring to either a Naso elegans, or N. lituratus )).

The powder blue might be an issue, depends on the length of your tank.
