Stocking list review. Mostly peaceful SPS dominated 120 Gallon

[Magoo]

120 gallon 4x2x2’ eurobraced tank with screen top, <1” sand.
Well equipped in the long run for SPS (oversized skimmer, apex, dos, tunze powerheads, led lights, etc)

In the final steps of cycling and phosphate leach from 90 lbs of dry pukani rock.
Adding multiple varieties of algae to 40 gallon Fuge with 40 gallon sump for ~180 gallon total water volume.

Have a ~40 gallon QT for fish and ~35 for corals/inverts.

I’d love some feedback on the stocking selection, amount of fish, compatibility, size of QT batches, order of introduction, or any general advice.

I am trying to select peaceful/reef friendly fish. Selection were based on many reviews and then research on temperament, compatibility, hardiness, need for established tank, and finally price (more expensive generally reserved for end).

Nice list!

I would probably move the Bartlett's anthias back on the list - I found that all of mine turned male, and became aggressive to things like flasher wrasses, so I'd add any flashers or other peaceful planktivores ahead of the Bartlett's.

I would also have the orange back fairy as the first fairy wrasse in the tank. It is the most peaceful of the fairy wrasses listed and it's colors can fade if it is not dominant.

Swales basslets are not aggressive at all.
