Hello everyone, i will be purchasing a large (120 gallon i think or 450 litres) tank that i want to turn into a reef tank minus coral. Attached is the current list i'm considering. Just remember, the spiny lobster is absolutely supposed to be the main inhabitant here so all other stockings should accomodate that. I also love shrimp, so that means nothing that will eat them (even though this is mostly large shrimp)

I've heard nox angelfish are aggressive towards other dwarf angelfish. Is this still true even if there's say a flame angel in there? the two will look completely different.
Anyways, i'm very open to suggestions! And i live in australia, so i may not be able to get much outside of this list due to limited imports here.

Anthias and Gramma aren't in that weight class, even with the size of the tank.

4-5 damsels sounds like a lot of trouble.

Make sure you have plenty of sand and caves for those crustaceans.

I'm not a fan of damsels either, they are known to fight too much which is why not many people have them anymore. The flame angel you have listed would work just fine, honestly I wish I could have one in my tank haha
