125g reef stocking ideas

[Bkendall]

Hey all! New to the forums here. Finally made an account after years of lurking lol. Anyways I’ve almost completed my 125 reef build and am curious as to yalls opinion of my stocking list, whether it’ll work, too much bio-load, etc. Tank is 6ft long, with a 55 g sump/Refugium. Roughly 160lbs of live rock. Here it is (and not in order of introduction to tank).

2 Ocellaris clowns (from my current 65g)
1 Starry Blenny (from current 65g)
1 One spot foxface
2 Banggai cardinals
4 lyretail anthias (1m, 3f)
1 blue cleaner wrasse
1 mandarin goby or pair ( I cultivate pods and add them to DT every couple of weeks)
1 flame angel
1 Kole tang
1 Purple tang

Also should I try to add both tangs at same time, or hold off and just add the purple very last as I had originally planned?

Thanks again guys!

Only one issue I see is the cleaner wrasse. Those die quickly in captivity and should be left in the ocean. The tangs I would add at the same time to play it safe and the foxface before.

I'm no stocking expert by any stretch of the imagination, but I dont think i would do a kole and a purple in a 125. Well see if the experts chime in @4FordFamily

It’ll be fine as long as they don’t confuse each other as the same species which happens on rare occasions

Oh okay. How interesting. What are your thoughts about introduction at the same time, or Kole first and Purple after?

Personally I think you’re fine, but I’m certainly not the most advanced reefer here. Like stated above, introduce the purple and kole simultaneously. However, if for some reason you can’t (budget, availability, etc...) add the kole first. The purple is much more aggressive. Heck I’ve seen my purple, who was introduced second, try to slice up my big 6-8” sail-fin tang (obviously the sail-fin shows him who’s boss).
