Butterfly’s eat coral, so you don’t want that. The rest look good. I wouldn’t do 2 of each just due to aggression. Sounds cool though.

Thanks mate for the help do you know what’s the maximum amount of fish I can put in a tank that size without to much stress for the fish

20ish. Less if they are all huge tangs. You can pack a ton of wrasses in a display without to many issues.

You’ll probably have to pick between a Passer and an Emporer Angel, they won’t like each other. I would go with a juvenile Emporer and watch it change colors as it turns into an adult.
Probably will face another challenge with that many Tangs, Blue Hippo and Naso will get big. If you go with a Purple, add it last.

Shop around if you can. Some of the prices seem a bit high and if it is being purchased at one store, I would hope they give you some sort of packaged discount.

Whatever route you pursue, I wish you success as you have definitely shopped carefully and using quality items.

Vetteguy thanks mate it’s not all at the one shop the tank is from one shop and the heater chiller test kit salt rock sand are from another shop and the light is from another shop and all the fish from another shop I haven’t been able to find cheaper with the fish anywhere in Queensland

Hi guys does anyone have an easy way of maintaining this setup or any marine set up like checking levels and adding salt and adding fish and adding corals
