So, I'm building out my 120 gallon and hoping to have water in it by the end of week. 
One of the plans for this is to merge all of my existing tanks (2 dt's, and 1 QT) into this tank. One of the questions I have is what order to add the fish when the time comes.
In QT: Copperband. Pretty sure it will be the first addition so I can get it established and be sure it's eating in the big tank.
In my 92:
1 Sm/Med Blue Hippo Tang
1 Sm/Med Scopes Tang
1 Clarkii Clown hosting in a Green BTA
1 Bonded pair of Falco Hawkfish
2 PJ Cardinals (not a bonded pair)
1 Snowflake eel (will be going into the Fluval M90 below once it is empty and moved. I'm going to plumb it into the 120 sump so 1 main water body to take care of.)
In my Fluval M90:
1 Sm/Med Yellow belly Blue Hippo Tang
1 Coral Beauty
1 Sunset Dottyback
1 Aptasia Filefish
Maybe 1 Yellow Watchman Goby
My thoughts:
Batch 1: Copperbanded (direct add)
Batch 2: PJ Cardinals, Sunset dottyback, Coral Beauty, Aptasia Filefish (direct adds)
Batch 3: Clarkii and Anemone with rock.
Batch 4: Both Blue Tangs and Scopas. (Use acclimation chambers for each blue tang and don't release for 2+ weeks. Scopas will acclimate with it's current Blue friend)
Batch 5: Move snowflake to M90 once plumbed into the 120 sump.
Thoughts and suggestions? (I know 2 Blue tangs are a risk. If fighting breaks out and is not controllable, I'll re-home one of them. Also, they will eventually be re-homed when they outgrow the tank.)
Thanks,
-Chris
