I am upgrading my 55-60 gal FOWLR tank to 125 gal tank. 72"L x 18"W x 24"H. Old tank only has a clown and about a 5 1/2" yellow tang. I want more than just 2 fish in this new tank. Below is what I would like to add to the new tank, in possibly the order I've written them down:

CuC
Scarlet Skunk Cleaner & Banded Coral shrimp - 1 each
Blue/Green Chromis - 4 or 5
Add in my clown
Banggai Cardinalfish - 3 or 4
Butterfly fish - Pearlscale, Mertensii, Sunset, ?? - Any combo or maybe 1 of each
Add in my Yellow Tang
Some type of sand shifting blenny/goby after the tank has been running for 6 or 7 months - maybe 1 or 2

Any suggestions on other fish? Or the order and type of fish I'm thinking about?

Thanks

Scarlet Skunk Cleaner & Banded Coral shrimp - 1 each---skip these: the coral banded eats fish; the cleaner just annoys them, but is relatively harmless. Peps or cleaner ok
Blue/Green Chromis - 4 or 5---they will kill each other until there are 3. You could get 3-5 little yellowtail damsels (bright navy blue with yellow tail) who would be better mannered.
Add in my clown Fine.
Banggai Cardinalfish - 3 or 4
Butterfly fish - Pearlscale, Mertensii, Sunset, ?? - Any combo or maybe 1 of each: I'd say the smallest, and only one.
Add in my Yellow Tang---ok
Some type of sand shifting blenny/goby after the tank has been running for 6 or 7 months - maybe 1 or 2---yellow watchman would do nicely. Maybe a pearly jawfish.
