In a 120, would it be crazy to stock all of the fish (14) all at one time? I know it would send nutrient/bacteria into a tizzy, but I'd be done within a quick shot and be able to move onto coral. Plus, getting them all at one time and all at one place means I don't have to quarantine them.
 
Just because you would be getting your livestock from one place at one time does not obviate the need for quarantine. All it takes is one fish bringing in a virulent pathogen like velvet (extremely common these days), and you could be dealing with a complete tank wipeout followed by a lengthy fallow period. Your nutrients would be unmanageable as well, putting your fishes' lives at risk and potentially throwing off your chemistry long term.

Nothing good happens fast in this hobby.
 
It would not be wise
