I've had one before and there great fish. Pretty clingy to the rock.

They don't mind the fast flow you typically find in a large tank?

Nope. Follow my 150g Ecopoxy project build to see how it all end up doing

 

[roilciuc]

Will do

If was me I would get the desjardini or hippo due to their sizes. Maybe a bristletooth in place of one? No shimp I presume since listed a hawkfish.

Well they're will be ample amount of swimming room so I'm not worried about not enough room for the sailfin.

Forgot to add two cleaner shrimp. Hawkfish won't bother them.

Just what I would have done is all. Don't be surprised if the hawkfish takes out that shrimp. If you try it I would add shrimp first so it is seen as a cleaner not a tasty meal.

Thanks for the tip I'll add the cleaners before the hawk fish

So I'll be removing the clown tang and another one. Replace with a trigger. Pink tail probably.

Unless they are a bonded pr firefish are intolerant of each other, so I would advise against 4.

Add the cleaner wrasse toward the end of stocking, as some never take prepared foods, so having more fish will help maintain the cleaner, but also make it less likely that the cleaner will be a pest to the other fish.

Oh I thought fire fish did good in groups. My bad

It's a common misconception. In the wild they live in lg colonies, and are often placed in sale tanks in lg numbers too, but just don't do well that way in captivity.

Thanks for the input. I'll definitely change that up. I'll do 4-5 chalk basslets
