I'm a few weeks away from cycling my 120 with sump. 4x2x2. Plan is dry rock, Dr. Tim's, ammonia.

I've researched adding fish that control algae etc. Yellow tang, bristletooth tang, wrasse, clown fish as first occupants. My goal is LPS, softies and of course clown hosting anemone AND a peaceful neighborhood. No bullies, no stinging coral battles. Easier to keep them out than get them out.

I read a lot of bad fish stories and want your best recommendations for stocking pacifists. Hopefully 120 well aquascaped gallons give me a fighting chance for peace in our time.
 
Tomini tang is peaceful, graze at algae all day, and stay relatively small

they are generally peaceful, but can be bullies. in a 120G i foresee no issues if added last.

My yellow eye bristletooth was the worst tang I had!! She was a terrorist. Took her out and now its peaceful with my yellow, purple and blue tang! 125 gallon six foot. Scopas are pretty good for algae, maybe look into one of them! They dont get as big as yellows from what Ive seen
