So I am currently planning my tank which will be 72 x 40 x 21 (approximately 240 gallons filled not including sump)

I am doing a Perhentian Island biotope so I have selected species pretty carefully and specifically, but want to A. Make sure the tank is suitable for my current list of fish and B. Decide on if I am to add more how many?

Wrasses are out of the question cause I don’t really want a lid, just the eurobrace

Here is the list, feedback is kindly welcomed

Gold Spotted Rabbitfish (Siganus punctatus)
Naso Tang (Naso lituratus)
Sailfin Tang (Zebrasoma veliferum)
Yellow Spotted(Prawn) Goby (Cryptocentrus cinctus)
Black & White Chromis x3 (Chromis margaritifer)
Mimic Filefish (Paraluterus prionurus)

A tank of this size is capable of maintaining many more fish. The ones you have listed are fine. Here are some more suggestions:
Flame hawk
Pair of clowns
Six line wrasse
Flame angel
Bangaii cardinals
Green chromis
Mandarin
Desjardini

Awesome, thank you for the reply. I think my main concern was the size of the, Gold Spotted, Naso, and Sailfin. Just super paranoid about them getting crowded. Once my pod population and ecosystem is stable I will likely add a Mandarin.

Any fish can jump, I’m a supporter of lids, though I don’t like the look, they seem to be the responsible thing to do.
That’s fair, maybe I will look into one. I just need to get over the look aspect. My lfs did say the eurobrace would help, just not sure how much.
