im thinking of adding the following to my Sps dominent reef tank. What are everyone's thoughts on bioload and aggression. Tank is 7-8 months old.

What's the min school size you would suggest for the carberryi anthias.

Currently have reefer 525xl 120 gal display 140 gal total system. Oversized skimmer carbon reactor. Biopellet reactor that I haven't brought online because I can't seem to get my nutrients above 0.

Current fish are:
1 yellow tang
1 hippo
1 6 line wrasse
2 clowns

Would like to add in next quarentine cycle
Regal angel
Anthias school 4-6 thoughts on this appreciated
Orange spot blennie

Cycle after next
Possible Dracula with shrimp
Possible green mandarin

I've read up on the regal and am willing to take the chance as it's my favorite fish.
 
More is better with social anthias, so I would lean toward six rather than four for them.

A sixline will be problematic with the mandarin, both as far as aggression and competition for pods.
 
How established is the yellow tang? I'm in a similar boat where I'm concerned that the yellow tang might not like newcomers. He/she bullied the little Watanabe angelfish for a while, so I moved the rock around and that helped a little bit.I think the size would probably affect how well the angel would do.
 
I went with
1 regal angel
1 orange spot blenny
4 carberryi anthias

The yellow tang has been in for a little over a month. He's quite small so hopefully things will go ok.
