Hey there,
I’m planning on setting up a 120 gallon reef tank next year. I know there is still a long time but I want to do my proper research before getting them. I was thinking about having these fish and invert.
Fish:
2 Clownfish (most probably Ocellaris Clownfish)
2 Banggai Cardinal
1 Tomini Tang
1 Purple/Yellow Tang
1 Coral Beauty Angelfish
1 Royal Gramma
1 Yellow Wrasse
1 McCosker‘s Flasher Wrasse (male)
1 Pink/Purple Firefish
1 Randall’s Prawn Goby
Invert:
1 Blue Tuxedo Urchin
1 Blood Red Fire Shrimp
1 Randall’s Pistol Shrimp
60 Nassarius Snails
30 Cerith Snails
30 Trochus Snails

Can someone please tell if this stocking will be ok or do I have to take out our add anything else? Any answer would be of great help.
 
I think your list looks pretty good. For fish I like floaters (cardinals and clowns), swimmers (wrasses and tangs), and perchers (goby). I think you need another percher and your good to go. Maybe a blenny (lawnmower, starry, or sailfin).

Also that is a ton of snails, I'd probably only get 1/3rd of those
 
Dang man 60 nassarius snails, thatd be crazy! I would go with 10, and maybe a conch.
 
Personally I would get more than 1 conch once your tank matures, my tank is slightly larger than yours and I have 8 and they all do well. Also the coral beauty may take a liking to your lps, but if you still wanted an angel get a swallowtail they are the best reef safe angel. Other than that this stocking list looks good.
 
This was basically the livestock list I had a while back. I would think about possibly offsetting the amount of snails and adding maybe hermit or other invertebrates. Snails could only do so much and they will be all over your glass.
