i would like to have a softy tank with also

3 blue chromis or 3 firefish
2 occil. clownfish
1 yellow tang or purple
1 foxface

I dont think so. I have a 150 with 30 gallon sump and I have 4 calk bass 1 flame angel 1 fairy wrasse 1 bullet goby with a few crab a few dozen snails soft and hard corals(lps). I thing the trick is a do your water changes and n ot to over feed.

I think you will be fine. Just pick the order at which to add them and give some time. You will have a decent idea when you have reached your limit

thanks

I'd say your list is just about right. add the tang last especially if its a purple they tend to be aggressive. keep in mind the foxface sometimes will eat zoas and some other soft corals

yea that skimmer should keep the water nice and clean for that list of fish imo. i agree though to add them slowly with the tang being the last, and QUARANTINE HIM!!! if none of the other fish atleast quarantine the tang for a few weeks before introducing him to your tank to avoid a potential ich outbreak. jmo!

Couldn't agree with this more! I just spent a month clearing my tank of ich!
