Hello:

I would like some advice on new additions to my tank. All my current fish get along great.
So I have the following in my current 65 gallon tank, all of which will be migrating to my new 160 gallon display, 200 total gallon system in the next month or so...

I can add them all at once. Any thoughts or concerns or other suggestions would be appreciated...

Current Inhabitants...All of which get along quite well
Red Eye Kole Tang - small 3"
Bi-Color Angel - good size 4"
Coral Beauty Angel 3"
Porcupine Puffer
1 Cardinal
2 small Chromis
One Pair Ocellaris Clowns small
One Diamond Goby Large
One Bi-color blennie
Miscellaneous Zoa's
Mushroom
1 small rose tip anemone

I am wanting to add the following
1 medium Purple Tang
1 medium butterfly
1 medium FoxFace Lo
3 or 4 purple firefish
4 Resplendent Anthris (3 females, 1 male)
I would like to add a Powder Blue or Brown Tang, but don't know if he will get along with everyone

Thanks for the advice...
 
That is a pretty good bioload right there even for a 160g. All those fish will grow out and need the space. Just because they get along as juveniles, it is a whole different ball game when they mature. I would stick with what you have for a while and see how everyone does in the 160g. Then at most I may add the resplendents (love those) or the firefish. The rest are too large or need too much space for a 160g. IMO of course.
 
Thanks for the advice. I definitely don't want to overcrowd. I also have a great LFS that will take fish when they become to large for a tank and get them in the hands of larger systems. Definitely will go slow.

Thanks again.
