I have a 70g planning for fish and nems only (mainly rock flowers and BTA down the road). Did a no fish cycle for 2 months and parameters are okay so far. ATM, I have 2 clownfish and 1 royal gramma.

Been looking around and I've come up with these as the "final" fish stock for my tank, in addition to my clownfish and royal gramma:
Midas Blenny
Flasher Wrasse
Flame Angel
Tomini Tang
Mandarin

I'm planning to add them every 2 weeks in that order (except for Mandarin which i'm planning to add much later). Do you guys think there will be any problems with this order? Feel free to point out other possible cause of concerns as well.

Thanks!
 
Seems like a good list but tank ir borderline small for a tang. Didn't work in my 65g. Is your tank 48 inches wide? Mine is only 36 which caused to much stress for the tang.
 
Yes, it's listed as 47 inches. Do you think that would make a difference?
 
if u can get the flame and tang in together at first never good luck with flames and tangs always fight
 
If you have alot of caves under your liverock that the angle can swim through you will be ok. My flame just stays in the rocks all day he doesn't mess with my yellow tang but my clarkii clowns don't like him. But he is way to fast for them to get him.

thanks both. would I have a higher chance of putting in both coral beauty and flame angel than flame + tomini?
 
agree . also u put them in . cut the lights or put them in at night. a lot of rocks does help.
 
I will differ in opinion here and say two things: 1) if you want a tomini and a dwarf angel, consider a different angel. Perhaps an Elibi; and 2) add the Tomini last. If it establishes before the angel it will worsen aggression.
