Hello all, I hope everyone is keeping safe! Let's start with some simple basics:

- 350 Gallon that's been cycled for a little over 4 months
- Going to put SPS and Zoas in eventually
- Have 2 Mocha Storm Clowns for all the women in the house (OMG they are sooooo cute)....
- A small YWG hiding somewhere in all the rock (Over 300 lbs worth)
- Only those 3 fish in the tank (Patience is a tough foe to fight!)
- 125 Gallon Sump with probably 65 gallons of water (Bunch of chaeto in the refugium section)
- Not overly necessary for the fish but have Noopsyche lighting (6 K7 LEDs, 2 P1802 Hybrids)
- Tight fitting screen lids on all of the tank top openings

Some of the options for future fish in no particular order(please tell me if I'm off base anywhere):

- 4 or 5 Yellow Tangs
- 1 Purple Tang
- 1 Power Brown Tang (Would prefer PBT but don't know if I want to chance their craziness)
- Leopard Wrasse
- Blue Throat Trigger (Definitely a male, maybe M & F)
- 6 Lyretail Anthias
- Regal Angel
- Emperor Angel
- Kole Tang
- Maybe a couple flasher wrasses

Not sure what else I'll eventually add but suggestions are more than welcome.

With the fish list above, what order would you add some of these? I know the Yellow and Purple Tangs go in together, Emperor Angel probably last. I was thinking about the trigger, regal and leopard sooner rather than later but could use the advice from the R2R group.

Thanks!
 
Regal and Emperor angelfish are a gamble with corals
 
Definitely go in order of aggression. Anthias next for sure. Plus their higher bioload will help mature your tank.
Then probably the wrasses.
Then the tangs.
