Ok, so I'm starting to stock my 120 gallon 4x2x2 tank and need some ideas on future fish purchases.

Currently it has the 3 inhabitants from my 37 tank, an ocellaris clown, orange spot watchman and tiger pistol shrimp. I'm planning on eventually getting an anemone and another Ocellaris hoping it pairs with the one I have and inhabit the anemone.

My buddy has 3 yellow tangs in a 90 and asked if I would take one as they are getting a little large for his tank.

So current:

1 Ocellaris Clown
1 Orange Spot Watchman
1 Tiger Pistol Shrimp
1 Yellow Tang

Future plans:
2nd ocellaris & RBTA anemone
A wrasse or 2 of some sort
maybe a small school of chromis
????

I'd like to try and plan on some of the more popular fish, mail order is not something I like to do on fish, I'll really only buy something I find local and I can see is healthy and eating.
 
I've read that Chromis will eventually kill each other until there is only one left. A group of Banggai Cardinals would be better in my opinion. And maybe another smaller tang...Kole yellow eye?
 
I may be lucky based on above post and others I’ve read, but I put 5 blue/green Chromis in my 120 about 3 months ago and they are doing great. They school together and have great character, especially at feeding time. They get right in there with the other tank mates – I enjoy the heck out of them.
 
I think a good number of chromis in a larger tank does have a better chance of not dwindling down. I really like the look of them as well. I usually give these as fish suggestions but I really like them - flamehawk, midas blenny, and coral beauty. I also really like the hellow eye kold tang - a great algae grazer although I've never been able to keep one for some odd reason :( wrasses are so cool and there are such a wide variety of them - they're always active and have some amazing colors.
 
I would like to have a couple wrasses in the tank.

I picked up a few more fish recently. So Currently:

2 Ocellaris
2 Bangaii Cardinals
3 Blue/Green Chromis
1 Firefish
1 Orange Spot Watchman
1 Cleaner Shrimp
1 Tiger Pistol Shrimp

My wish list is:
Yellow Tang
Kole Tang
Carpenter's Flasher Wrasse
Lubbocks Fairy Wrasse

Also a Gigantea (True Carpet) anemone


Do you think this is too much for my tank?
