I have a few new fish that are currently in quarantine that will be going into my tank soon. I have a 120 gallon 5 ft long tank. Current fish list are 2 black clowns, yellow chocolate tang, and a cream angle. So far all get along just fine. The angle has been in the tank the longest. I introduced the yellow tang about 3 months ago and so far get along great. At first there was a little flashing from each as they figured each other out. My new additions will be 3 Banggai Cardinals and Sailfin tang. Not to worried about the cardinals but more the tang. I thought about getting a acclimation box and putting the tang in there for a little while while they get used to each other. Or am I better off putting the angel in there and putting new tang into tank? Any experience with this?
 
I misposted initially/ with a quick edit/ I see you did qt. Sounds like a nice setup + sensitive fish

That is a plan lots of people use in the fish forum it'll be neat to see what additional steps peers recommend
