I'm receiving a 75ext with a icecap 30 sump so I'd say 90ish gallons total since I don't really trust the 30 to be 30 gallons :p and i need some advice on my fish since I'll be trying to consolidate 3 tanks into this one.

The total fish load is gonna be hefty but that kinda works cause I have always had a problem getting nitrate/phosphate up even with no skimming or anything and have had to dose it.

1x Clownfish pair
1x firefish
1x algae blenny
1x coral beauty angel
1x sixline wrasse
1x yellowtail damsel
2x Fireshrimp


I'm fairly certain everyone will get along except maybe the wrasse that has always had it out for blennies and harrased my tailspot all the time whenever he would make a little house out of a hole in the rocks that my sixline decided he liked too that week.

I'm hopefully wanting to add a smaller tang like a tomini and possibly a flame hawk.

Does anyone see anything HORRIBLY wrong with this picture?

Only thing I can think of is the damsel not taking to my clowns very well but I'm planning on having him come in last if possible.

I'm going to attempt to make one of those NSA aquascapes that Ryan at brs has been playing around with to provide not only room for corals but also plenty of arches and dynamic rockwork for the fish to break line of sight and get away from eachother in the case they bicker.
 
I think that flame hawkfish might go after shrimp, but I'm not 100% positive about it. Aside from that, it looks nice! Great job! What's your stocking order into the 75 going to be, since that can be important for making sure that fish aggression can go down.
 
The firefish will definitely go in first no matter what probably with the blenny.
Next will be the clowns and damsel followed by the sixline and shrimp and AFTER THAT ....whew.. ill pick up the tang and hawkfish in the same go!
 
I approve of the firefish and blenny going in first! Here's what I'd do:

First addition: firefish, algae blenny, fireshrimp
Second addition: Clownfish pair, coral beauty angel
Third addition: yellowtail damsel
Fourth addition: sixline wrasse
5th addition: tang, flame hawkfish

I agree a YT is a nice addition but they can kind of be jerks. I personally think the yellow eye kole tang is underrated in its beauty! Worth considering!
 
I do worry about the shrimp but hopefully they pick the opposite corner of wherever his favorite posting up position is. Hopefully since I'm going to get him as young as possible growing up around them not being able to eat them the whole time when he gets older won't take the chance

Honestly its either that or a tomini and im leaning more towards the latter.... something about the contrasting of the body with the fin tips does it for me more than the.. lines? on the kole tang

But then again who knows it'll be 6 months before I even think about the tang anyway ;)
