Hello!
I am brainstorming on putting a 48x36x24 fish tank in my home to replace my current, fairly new, 75-gallon tank. I was just wondering what are your opinions on my stocking idea for this 180-gallon fish tank

Purple tang

yellow tangs

Two clowns

Hawkfish

Blue spot stingray

Porcupine puffer

Bannerfish 2x

Emperor angelfish

Coral beauty green and blue

jawfish

Sand sifting fish

Middes blenny



I am planning on having my rocks float, to form a floating reef so that my stingray could get as much space as possible. Also yes i do plan on putting in easy soft and SPS coral in the tank. I know that the puffer may nibble on the coral if I don't feed it enough but I'm willing to take that risk as since I'm putting this tank in my parent's home and that was their one rule of having a porcupine puffer. Don't want to do fish only since IMO I think it makes the tank look boring without swaying coral. So yeah appreciate your comments on my rough idea of the stocking.
 
I like the list. Especially adding a purple tang with a couple yellow will definitely stand out.

Another fish to look out for is the emperor -- it may not be reef comp.
