Spent the last 14 months setting up my new 125g DT with plumbing to basement and 60g of fuge/sump. I'm all cycled and am ready to begin the introductions over the next several months. Looking for some advice on order here.

My plan:

Mated pair true perculas
Anemone to host (but considering hammerhead instead)
Yellow tang
Other tangs x 2
Watchman gobi / pistol shrimp
6-line wrasse
Mandarin
Blue-throat trigger
Various LPS
Xenia
Cleanup crew

Considerations:

- I've already started stocking the cleanup crew, but since there's not much to clean up, I only added about 20% of it.

- I know the tangs can be aggressive towards their own. So is there a combo of tangs that would work well? By varying color would that help?

- Don't want to add the gobi/shrimp too soon if there's no fauna to eat yet. Currently stocking the fuge with macro and pods.... so I'm going to wait on this.

- Wrasse also needs pods so will likely be last added, except that trigger should be last so he knows he's a guest.

- Obviously, there might be a problem with shrimp plus trigger, but I'm banking on this being a reef-safe trigger. A gamble, I know, but calculated since the rewards would be huge.

- Corals should go in before trigger right? But is 12 week old tank stable enough for LPS yet? Levels are 0-0-0 by the way...

- Love watching anemones, but realize they, too, are a gamble and could be a nuisance citizen eventually. At this time, I'm weighing the benefit over the risk.

- Cleanup crew... I'll add them in 20% at a time throughout the process.
