I am looking at getting a 280G tank (72" x 30" x 30"). Plus a custom sump that when at normal level will hold about 50 Gallons.
Filration
- ZEOVIT System
- Skimmer (rated for 400Gallons)
- Carbon Reactor
- CHaeto fuge

Definite Additions
- 2 Skarlet Cleaner Shrimp
- Red fire Shrimp
- 2-3 Tiger Sand Conchs (should i do 2 or 3)
- 2x Tailspot Blenny
- 2x Black comb tooth blenny
- 2x Saddlback Clowns
- 2x Watanabei Angels
- 3x Indian Ocean Lyretail Anthias
- 1x Girdled Fairy Wrasse
- 1x Lineatus Fairy Wrasse
- 1x Exsquisite Fairy Wrasse
- 2x Scott's Fairy Wrasse
- 1x Whitetail Bristletooth Tang
- 2x Blue Throat Trigger
- 2x Crosshatch Trigger

Possible / Need Advice
- 1x Bennett's or Blue Spotted Puffer
- 1x Bicolor Goatfish
- 1x Snowflake Eel

I am not sure about compatibility, stocking order, and any other complications with stocking at the same time etc.
 
Sounds like a plan:)
 
I learned that when you buy a new tank, find out how much it weighs and then figure out how your gonna move it. The 108 gallon we moved in was at the limit of me and my son to move. 250 lbs and 4 suction cups.
 
I have decided against:
- Puffer
- SnowflakeEel
- Bicolor goatfish
- Scott's Fairy Wrasse

Decided to add:
- 1x Conde's Fairy Wrasse
- 1x Johnson's
- 1x Pink Margin Fairy Wrasse

What about the new compatibility?

What about an achiles tang, purple tang, and/or orange striped bristle tooth?
Would this be ok with the whitetail bristletooth?

I have several people that can help me move it in.
