Looking for some advice on stocking order. I am getting a 180g LPS tank setup and about to fire up my 3 qt tanks. Here are the fish I am looking at getting in the tank, any tips on stocking order or selection is greatly appreciated.

Bellus Angel – Pair
Flame Hawkfish
White Banded Possum Wrasse
Lyretail Anthias – Trio
Black Ice Clown – Pair
Pearly Jawfish – Pair or Trio
Bella Goby
Midas Blenny
Purple Firefish – Trio
Blue Mandarin Goby
Blonde Naso Tang
Lawnmower Blenny
Purple Tang
Achilles Hybrid Tang

Thanks!!

I would start with all fish but the angels and tangs as they are the only ones that will cause a theoretical issue for a tank that size. start with flame angel, then the bellus pair. then personally I add all my tangs at once so they all establish at they same time. some people frown upon it but it forces them in the same situation so i prefer it. for other fish order isnt as important. they can get lost in a 180 so shouldnt be an issue

Thanks for the replies and help. Figured the tangs and mandarin would be last but wasnt sure about utilizing a tang to help control algae.
