i am in the process of cycling my new 240 gallon (96"x 24"x 24"). The plan is to be SPS dominate reef. Looking for suggestions on fish list and possible additions to list, all need to be reef safe. i currently have 3 fish that i know should be added last but i got to good of a deal on them that i have already gotten them, they are in QT at the moment and will be put in a bigger side tanks till ready to add them.
Already have:
-1 Gem Tang
-1 Sohal Tang
-1 Achilles Tang
-Pair Lightning Maroons​
Fish Ideas & Likes
-1 Achilles Hybrid Tang
-1 Powder Blue Hybrid Tang
-Purple Tang
-3 yellow Tangs
-Magnificent Rabbit
-Pair Flame Wrasse
-Black Leopard Wrasse
-Blue Star Leopard Wrasse
-Mystery Wrasse
-Radiant Wrasse
-Pair Red Tailed Tamarin​
My thoughts were to add at least 3 yellow tangs in to act as distractions for the other tangs to help break up the tang aggression. I love wrasses and would like to keep an assortment. The fish ideas and likes are not necessarily are all fish I would like to keep and a reference of fish i like. so i realize i may not be able to keep all of them in same tank. Thoughts on list? Additions? Suggestions?
Thank you in advance
 
The 4 fish you have already is what I'd leave it at, as far as the big fish. I've got a 240g and I only have 4 fish in it, but they are huge fish now. Once your fish are full grown, you'll see you don't have as much room as you thought for all those.
 
Sohals and achilles have a lot of attitude and will fight pretty badly as they mature. And I definitely wouldn't add an achilles hybrid or powder blue hybrid in that size tank.

Mystery wrasses get pretty aggressive toward other wrasses.
