Adding the fish at certain times sounds good. It all boils down to what you can get from your local reefers/LFS.
My experience with out using a skimmer is you'll need something to keep your nitrates downs. With using a wet/Dry filter your nitrate well creep up. Having lot of rock and flow for filtration is good. Biopellets are a good source to reduce nitrates. There are many other sources way also. As for adding fish. Heres how i would do it. First: Yellow tangs x5 Second: Powder blue First: Regal tang First: Blond naso Second: Yellow eye kole Second: Orange shoulder Last: Emperor angel Last: Majestic angel First: Long nose hawk Last: Long nose butterfly (Keep in mind THat they prefer an established tank) Last: Copperband butterfly (Keep in mind THat they prefer an established tank) First: Black and white chromis x10 Second: Flame angel Second: Bi color angel Second: Elibi angel Last:Green mandarin in time of course(Keep in mind THat they prefer an established tank) When adding fish i also recommend doing it at night time. To Cutting down on aggression. Feeding lots if the first few days helps out. Looking forward to see the build.

Wish you better luck than I! |

Nice to see people who can run such big tanks! I don't have anything to contribute, unfortunately, but I'm looking for black and white chromis as well; do you have a particular species in mind, or do you find them all about the same temperament-wise?

Chromis nitida - Barrier reef chromis?
or Chromis retrofasciata - Black-bar chromis? or Chromis dimidiata - Chocolatedip chromis? |

Or C. margaritifer, hanui, or iomelas/maculatus? There are a bunch of black and white chromis species and there seems to be a lot of inconsistency :/
