Fish recommendations...
 
It's time to start adding fish into my 120 gallon..... It will be a reef set-up and I'm curious as to what kind of fish people prefer for that size tank and in what order to introduce them??

Fish that I definitely will have:
gold-striped maroon
powder blue tang
my hubby would like a blue regal tang
some gobies
some blennies

the rest is optional.....

Any suggestions? I here some people say there are strict ways/orders to introduce fish into a tank but others say it's a hit and miss.... What do you think?

Add in this order, blenny (make sure if you get more than one that they're different colors or if one is a herbavore and one is a meat eater), regal tang, powder blue, maroon.

Instead of a goby, I'd suggest a different fish, some gobys get along with blennys, but not all. If I was you I'd either pick, blenny or goby. I've had gobys and blennys and I actulley got my second blenny today, a lawnmower and he has the most personality out of all of my fish. So I'd suggest you go with a blenny. Instead of the gobys I'd say get a fairywrasse or anthias.

I too say you should get a pair of gsm, i have a pair and they are a lot of fun to watch, they play in my xenia, and chase my olceris around!! besides they are very pretty.
