150 gallon tank stocking

[Reefering1]

I already made a post asking for help and people told me that I should feed it copepods and mysis, and the seller already has them feeding. I also watched a video saying this is the best time to add them. Because there is no competiotion

I suggest searching, "cbb not eating". Get familiar and prepared for what's coming with that cbb(that is already on the way?) or surrender it to lfs as soon as you get it(better option)

Oh yeah I completely missed the part about it being new… this will be a problem with the copperband, finicky fish

I have an old tank with aptasia and lots of pods as well as feather dusters in the rocks. This is where I'm going to train it to eat.

It's already eating though. The seller sent me a video of it eating. I might switch out the other butterflys for a rabbitfish or something. But I'm sure I want the cbb and I already read alot about how to take care of them. I build an external breeding tank for copepods and macro. It is a 20 gallon with a airstone and a pump for flow. I have copepods and aptasia ready. I found a place with black worms if it really doesn't eat. It's an hour away.

Cleaned up. Thank you for those of you willing to help others!!

Thank you, I was wondering what the heck is going on. I appreciate all the advice I've been given. I will post an updated list right after this.

For tangs *=maybe later
Yellow
Blue
*maybe white tail
rabbit fish
cbb
lyrtail anthias 5
6 line wrasse
*Other wrasse
2 gobys, yasha and probably diamond
Let me know if there is anything else I can add. BTW this is a mixed reef that's why I removed the other butterflys.

No on the 6/line wrasse they eventually become mean and attack/kill smaller fish @OrionN @i cant think. The yellow (chrysus) is a nice choice. I really like the lemon meringue (leukoxanthus) better now. Don’t tell @i cant think

Gotcha! A dwarf angel would look nice too! They tend to be more reef safe than the larger angels

Im a bit confused, where is the current plan for what you’re adding and what you’re wanting to add?

I have a fair amount to say and a lot of it will contradict almost everything people have said above but for those who know me, I like a bit of contradicting advise (well, only if it’s worded correctly)

Just keep in mind the hippo wont be able to stay in the 125 long term. Here is my big boy! About 8-9 inches. The unicorn tang in the second picture is about 6 inches

I see your Foxies are getting along!

Love my Bicolour and I recommend it for the OP - or maybe even the scribbled.

Yeah! Fiji (bi color) does have a nose injury but I dont think Buddy (magnificent) did it to her. I think she might have gotten spiked by one of the tangs

ell, only if it’s worded c
