So, according to our friend Mr. Rich "Mustard Boy" Nelson, due to my extreme slowness in getting anything done, all fish are going to evolve into having 4 legs and opposing thumbs before I get my tank up and running ;)

With that being said, I would like to get some input on a proposed stocking list for swimmers in my build. I have a 120G 48x24x24 and want to run a mixed reef. Running a 36 gallon sump, Hydor performer 705 skimmer. 3 BRS reactors (Matrix, Carbon, GFO) with only the matrix on line while cycling. Will bring the others on as required. 2x MP40 WES pumps for circulation. About 100 Lbs of Marco Rock.

When I get cycled the following list is what I'm thinking. Would love your input and comments. I need to think about order of addition, reef safeness (sp?), etc. Also, plan on doing full QT on everything before it hits the DT.

In no particular order:

2x True Percula (tank raised)
1x Purple Firefish
1x Bellus Angel
1x McCoskers Flasher Wrasse
1x Lawnmower Blenny
1x Schooling Bannerfish
1x Carberri Anthias
1x Magnificant Foxface

Thanks for the input!
 
Anthias do better in groups. Fire fish also.

ID get you a Tang of some sort too for algae control
 
Am I the only one who likes a school of green/blue chromis in a big tank? makes it look real and alive IMO
 
Just make sure you have a lot of rock/hiding places for the bellus and firefish, they're rather shy in my tank. Absolutely love my bellus, she's my favorite fish.
