Newbie Setting up 120 long

[flyfrod]

I'm in the possess of starting a reef tank(60x18x25). I'm new to saltwater. I know that I would like to have some LPS and SPS corals as well as some soft. My problem lies in the fish I want to keep as well. Here's what I'd like to keep.
Flame or Coral Beauty Angel
Midas Blenny
Pink Skunk Clown
Blue Damsel
Royal Dottyback
Firefish
Clown Goby
Foxface
yellow tang
Blue Hippo Tang
Sixline Wrasse
Maybe a:
Convict Tang
Kole Tang
Any advice or suggestions are welcome. Like I said I'm new to this.

In my opinion thats too many fish, tangs can grow huge, and so, i would recommend just the yellow and the blue one, depending on your preferences.
Also, you shouldn't post 2 threads with the same thing. this should go into the reef sub-forum.

rluix,

Zhenya recommended he post his information here as well as in the reef forum so that he can get leebca's advice on his fish choices, also check out the maybe list which includes the Kole and convict tang, he didn't say he was adding them, he said maybe.;;

Yep, im just helping him turnning that maybe into a solid Yes, or no. That depends on him.

I guess I should say that I like all 4 of the tang listed but am only going with 2. I didn't know if out of the 4, there would be 2 that would be better to have than the others.

If you go with the yellow tang, make sure you add it last, as they can and usually do become quite territorial.

You need to determine what you want. A reef tank doesn't combine well with a large fish population. Many corals are sensitive to water quality that fish aren't sensitive too, like nitrates. Fish will produce a lot of nitrates and make proper caring of many corals very challenging. Also, fish in captivity may harm some corals, which they wouldn't do in the wild.

I suggest therefore you go for reef or fish.

If you want to move the plan to a fish tank, then follow these guidelines:
Setting Up a FOWLR Aquarium

You are on the 'right track' in planning ahead of time. You can't do too much planning! So to help you out, you need to get an idea of just how much 'fish' you can stock. Read and follow this advice:
Fish Stocking Limit - for FO and FOWLR

If you go through that second link, you'll find why you don't want to put any Tang or Rabbittfish in that sized aquarium. That link will cover some of your other choices, too.

You'll find that first link will direct you to other links you need to read and learn to make your experience both enjoyable and a success! If you start off right, it will turn out right.
