Compatible...?

I do maintenence for an Orthodontist around my area and he wants a "Finding Nemo" theme is his 140 Gallon softy reef tank. Theres only a few corals as i just took on this job and plan on revamping the whole tank as it is what he wants done.


Heres his current tank set-up:


-Royal Gramma (3)
-Foxface
-Bar Goby (5)
-Firefish (2)
-Small Various clean up crew

Live Rock:
Est. 100 LBS

Live Sand

Berlin Style Sump

My Re-Design

-Royal Gramma (2)
-Yellow Tang
-Regal (Hippo) Tang
-Firefish (2)
-Pair Flase Percula Clowns
-Two Cleaner shrimp
-Large Various Clean up crew

I want to remove the Fish not listed in "My Re-Design" and add what is listed there. Is there any obvious errors i made as to compatibilty etc?

Thanks for your time!

Nice... that should work nicely! Firefish however are one of those fish that are hit or miss. If they don't chase each other to death they will either jump out, be eaten by bristelworms, or just perish from frailty.

Yeah i know they are fragile, I plan on keeping the ones already in there in the tank as they have been in there for months and seem to be doing well.

Other opinions?
Also, would i be able to keep the foxface? I never really gave it thought.

Yes i know

Im sure he wouldnt mind what i put in there even if this one fish wasnt in the movie, it would make up for in its beneficial capabilites to the tank. I wanted to make it an exact replica with the volcano and everything but i wouldnt want his Halides to go to waste.
