Which fish first

I agree about the orange shoulder but they are so nice looking as juvinals.

Ya I know but I think you will live to regret it.
You have a nice size tank so you have lots of options

Yellow, black ,purple, achilles, atlantic
Consider an acanthurus mata

A kole with bright yellow eyes is nice

What about a school of 3 yellows you think I'd have the room if I loose the orange shoulder

Absolutely 3 but not two

and add the kole it is a really cool fish if you think you might like her

So nice to see you giving some positive feedback about tangs Wayne

Prarie, if you build the tank size you mentioned, you have lots of room for adding fish ...

Honestly, I'd think any fish added at any time would feel so lost in there (not like at home in a real reef, but) that any aggression would not be an issue
Bbllinks has a 300DD full of tangs and it's a very peaceful tank

Still, I'd suggest you stick with the obvious rules about who to add first, and how many of each family/sub etc to keep
Some are more aggressive than others, so do some web research and make your choices slowly

Also, the Yellow Eye Kole Tang mentioned is an awesome fish
I had one for a short time before selling him. It would fit in great in a tank your projected size

Liveaquaria.com is a good place to start for stocking suggestions, but it's not gospel
They also have a compatability chart you could utilize for any other choices regarding mixing all the fish we can buy

I have had tangs on my brain for the last few weeks. Tomorrow I pick up a kole, yellow and an Achilles. I am also picking up a black tang but I did not mention it to Prairie because he might want one too. I had to trade by first born to get it.

Don't worrie about me stealing your tangs yet!!! Still gotta build my tank first.lol
I was at the Lfs yesterday and now my list might have to change cause they had a small powder brown that was absolutely stunning and eating good I couldn't pass it up I had to get him. So now I have to get going on building my tank. What depth you guys think I should do would 20inch be deep enough for tangs?
Or should I go deeper? I like being able to reach the bottom.
