Stocking Plan for 140 gallon SPS Reef Tank

[BigTex1836]

My tank has been cycling for 2 months, and my water parameters are stable. I added invertebrates and firefish, and now I am ready to start expanding the stocking plan. What do you think? The letters indicate the order to add. I am planning on waiting 2-4 weeks between stocking to avoid stressing the tank.
A) shrimp (blood and cleaner), snails, and crabs (arrow and emerald) (already in tank)
B) 2x Firefish (already in the tank)
C) 2x Kaudern's Cardinalfish
D) 6x Blue green chromis
E) 6x Blue green chromis (for 12 total)
F) 1x pink streaked wrasse
F) 1x Picasso percula clownfish
G) 1x yellow tang juvenile
G) 1x Kole tang juvenile
G) 1x mimic tang juvenile
Please note that the tangs are from different genus, small juveniles, and added at the same time. I plan on having 3 seaweed clips (2 at opposite ends and 1 in the back middle) so that they can feel comfortable with feeding territory.

I have 140 gallons, 34 gallon triton trigger sump, 220 Nyos skimmer, 2x M2 returns, and 4x MP40 power heads.

The wrasse will eat your shrimp, also those wrasses in the mystery wrasse family can get super mean, FYI.

The tangs might not get along either, if you plan to have all of them I'd add them either all at once or in very close succession. I have one purple tang and it owns my 120, no other tang of any species will ever be ok in there with it.

Have you thought of any bottom dwellers? Like gobies or hawk fish or dragonets?

I have a bare bottom tank. Can any of those be kept successfully without sand?

Hawk Fish would do alright without sand, the others probly not. I'd go for maybe a little geometric hawk that stays small... although they might eat your shrimp too. Shrimp are hard to keep with a lot of fish.

Pink streaked wrasses are in the Pseudocheilinops genus (so not the same as the mystery wrasses, they are Pseudocheilinus and do have a bad reputation). Pink-streaked are peaceful and too small to be a threat but any of the tiniest shrimp (my peppermint shrimp are bigger than my pink-streaked). Super cool fish.

The only comment I will make is that he might get a little lost in that size tank - although mine is always out in the open.

I don't think hawk fish need sand but they may eat small crustaceans. I also have one of those - a flame hawk- in with peppermints and they seem fine. I also have a long-nose hawk in with several peppermints and a cleaner shrimp in a different tank, no issues so far.

fairy/flasher wrasses would be nice for activity
