@MaverickFalcon4 Sounds like you got it, with my only concern being the 3 Yellow Tangs and them getting along in the long term. You could pick 2 other fish, different fish, Tang or otherwise, in place of having 3 Yellow Tangs (so you will have 1 Yellow Tang). Otherwise, looks good.
2 Ocellaris Clownfish
1 yellow tang
1 sailfin tang
1 blue tang
1 naso tang
1 foxface rabbit fish
4 halicoeres wrasses ( of any species not picky here )
1 Tiger Watchman Goby
1 copperband butterfly
3 zoster butterflyfish
2 genicanthus angelfish of some kind ( M and F pair )
2-4 skunk cleaner shrimp
1 tuxedo urchin
1 sand sifting sea star
Assorted snails ( about 15 or so )

Sounds better or?

Why so many yellow tangs? I think thats a bad idea.

Everything else looks fine to me though.

Trying to disperse aggression? Unless I’m doing it wrong?
I have 4 yellows in my 330.7 and they get along just fine. I added three biota babies first then brought my adult yellow over a month later. I wanted 5 total but at $175 each for the babies I settled on 3 of them.

I might have forgotten to mention that I plan to upgrade in less than 4 years time…. So if it’s “long term”, might not be an issue

Good to know. I just saw a thread a while back where a few people people had a bunch of tangs and they all randomly started fighting so I just thought it would better to be safe than sorry.
