New Reef, Fish Compatibility Advice

[traxxonwaxx99]

So I'm in the process of cycling my new 210gal Zeovit System. Just about ready to start adding fish and I've made a list of what I would like in the tank. Wanted to get some opinions on compatibility of the fish with each other as well as the mixed Reef but SPS dominant. I know some of these fish are not completely reef safe but can be with caution. Any insight or past experiences would be appreciated!

2 Picasso Clowns
1 Yellow Belly Hippo Tang
1 Hawaiian Tang
1 Algae Blenny
1 Niger Trigger
1 Coral Beauty
1 Flame Angel
1 Sunburst Anthias
5 Bartlett's Anthias
1 Borbonius Anthias
1 Long Horn Cowfish
1 Copperband Butterfly
1 Saddleback Butterly
1 Scotts Fairy Wrasse
1 Lubbocks Fairy Wrasse

I see not obvious issues with compatibility to each other, but with the corals maybe. Just make sure to add slowly as if all at once you will cause major problem. Also, be sure to qt the fish and do this slowly. I would skip the tangs, or add just one, but that is just me. I also have a 210g. Is yours 7' too?

Hi, Thanks for the input! My 210 is a standard Aqueon 72 x 24 x 29. I will be adding them slowly for sure. The other thing that concerns me is territory, I know if certain species are added at the same time, it would help with keeping any 1 from dominating the space. I heard the Niger Trigger specifically should be added with other fish so it doesn't make the entire tank his own room lol.

The Niger is one I do not have experience with personally. I know the compatibility is fine, but order is important too. I would add the large fish last for territorial reasons as you said. Clowns at same time and babies or paired adults. Fairies probably together. Anthias together. Flame and Beauty may be better together too.

Sounds like a plan, thanks!
