Suggestions on stocking

[Bluefish9]

Im getting close to water time on my 150g xh FOWLR build. I've put together a list of species that Im interested in. I understand that it may be a little overdone so Im looking for suggestions to aid me in tweaking it a little. Also open to other suggestions that I may not have considered

Looking forward to everyone's feedback

Harlequin tusk
Square spot Anthias
Flame angel
Quoyi Parrotfish
Snowflake eel
Majestic Angel
Foxface lo
tang? (Suggestions)
3 Bannerfish
Snowflake eel
Spiny urchin

I think this would work out, but my suggestions are to possibly remove one of the "bigger" fish (i.e. majestic angel or foxface) because it might get a little crowded. If I were you I would add possibly 3-4 big fish and make the rest anthias, wrasses or other small cool fish.
I currently have 3 pyramid butterflyfish, a blue tang and a sailfin tang as my "bigger" fish in my 180 reef. Me personally I would drop the foxface and the bannerfish, keep the rest and add maybe 1 butterflyfish or tang, and have the rest be smaller fish. good luck!

And here I was planning on making the fox face my first fish in the tank lol
Ok... Good points. Duly noted!

I am in fact obsessed with the copper-band butterfly and powder blue tang but I here they are ich magnets and you need to do a special dance and say certain prayers on a daily basis in order to successfully keep them.

Sounds like a long list for a 150g. I think you could do a purple tang or a blue tang or any of the smaller ones. I have tried two copperbands and failed. My recommendation for a CB is to have a QT and fatten him up before putting him in the tank with everyone else.

Good Luck!

Oh no you can still get it. I was just simply using those as examples lol, sorry didn't mean it that way at all. Just that you should only keep a few "showcase" fish, like the parrotfish or tusk

Due to the tank footprint I only recommend one of the bristletooth tangs. I also recommend against the harlequin tusk and angel as they will outgrow the four foot footprint

So ditch the too coolest fish? I knew I should have went for my own island instead of a 150g lol ;-)
