Hi All.
Just joined this forum a week ago, what a great help everyone is. So onto the questions (Tank Details below) I currently have a school of Blue Green Chromis, a mated pair of True Percs and there BTA , and a gifted Purple Tang

I have been going in cricles with compatability charts, reading FAQ's etc and am stuck. What I would like to add is the following:
Either a Lemon Butterfly or Tinkers
Yellow Clown Goby
Sharknose Goby
Half Black Dwarf Angel
Naso Tang

Will this work or is it going to be war. I am planning to add some SPS and LPS corals soon. Have good crop of copods around and will be adding a refugim soon for N export and pod production.

Ideas, no no's, am I nutz? Well thats a given, I got into this hobby. BTW - Tank is about 4 months old

Thanks
Ron

You know how it is hit or miss. More than likely it will be ok, but theres always the off chance a couple of them may not get along. I would go for it. Just keep researching!!!

OK,
Roll the dice and hope for the best, any thoughts as to order, just common sense, smaller fish first and then add the Dwarf Angel and finaly the Tang and Butterfly, maybe do that at the same time. If I can get med size 3-4 inches they should be ok in a 20 Gal Long Q tank together?

You will more than likely have some problems with the Purple tang if you introduce a Naso, and or B'Fly's. If you choose one of these I would keep the lights off for the first day and give the new fish a chance to settle in.

I missed the part of the post with your current tank occupants. Sorry!! I agree with kale1976 on this one. Maybe think about rearranging the rock as well. The fish will then have to reestablish their territory.
