Thoughts on this. It’s kinda just materialized in my tank and the fish seem to get along fine but maybe have some long term concerns. It’s a 60x20x20 mixed reef Heres the list. The tank is busy but they all stay out of each others way. One concern I have is bio load. How often do you suggest I feed? Don’t have a lot of reefers around me so I’m just trying to bounce ideas. Also I have alot of live rock and a 30 gallon sump decent skimmer.

Sargassum triggerfish

Blue throat trigger

Convict tang

Whitecheek tang

Tomini tang

2 black saddle clowns

Midas blenny

Lawnmower blenny

Long nose hawkfish

Drop one of the two bristletooth tangs (White Tail and Tomini) - they will almost certainly fight in a 5’ tank.
You may also find that risk with the triggers unless added at the same time however @lion king may be able to help with them better.

Everything else seems good to me, maybe add a couple wrasse or similar fish for the colour at the top.

Feeding wise, I’d feed as many times as possible - 2x a day is ideal but most fish will cope with 1x a day feedings.

Thanks for the feedback! It’s a whitecheek tang kinda like a powder blue no the white tail bristle but it does have a white tail.

Yeah a fairy wrasse or two would be nice but was unsure if they’d do well. I was also considering a mystery wrasse or leopard something that likes to eat pods because the tank is infested with them and no real predator
