Stocking Order - whats your take on this list?

[BBcoach81]

Hi All,

I have just started up a 50 gallon FOWLR tank - all cycled, bio-boosted and equipment upsized to 3x volume so stocking not an issue. I have this following list as idea of stock for the tank - looking for advice on which order to purchase, alternative options if better and how many to start with on first intro?

Kole Tang
Coral Beauty
2x B&W Ocellaris Clownfish
2x Yellow Lined Cardinal
Small sand sifting Goby - open to ideas (open top setup so no jumpers)

I considered a fox face but maybe to big for the setup - although i'm likely to size up inside 2 years.
Any suggestion would be helpful...

Good start out list.
If you sure you will upgrade in two years you can do a YT make sure it’s a small one and put them in as last.
Of course you going to quarantine everything as normal protocol before they go into the DT.

Thanks Ben!
Yes quarantine everything - so the tang last no matter which one I get? Also considering Tomini Tang.
What would you put in first?

I would both quarantine them with a screen divider so that they can see each other and yet separated.
If no aggression remove it after a week.
Let them go through quarantine together and you got a great pair of tangs.
Remember though a 50 gallon is on the very small side for two but if they are small work on a upgrade after a year or so.
You can also trade them with a LFS, they will like them cause they have been through Quarantine.
