Stock compatability

[Bellesfish]

Hi everyone sorry for the 2 posts in one day but I have lots of questions before I go back to the LFS tomorrow and i feel it’s betteer to have the info before. My current stock is
Comet grouper
Purple tang
Scopas tang
Fox face
Pink skunk clownfish
Maroon clownfish
Leopard wrasse
Blue chromis (2)
Blue damsel (3)
Hawk fish
Black spiny urchin
Blue tuxedo urchin
Sea cucumber
Various snails and electric blue leg, mithrax and other hermit crabs
Blue linckia star
Pink and red starfish
4 different species of anemones including mini maxi, fairy and bubbletip

I am wanting to add more fish and am definitely set on an idol but I am looking for others to add. I have already kept idol in past and adore them. Do you think a sailfin would work with my current stock. The tangs are the only fish I could see being a problem but they are pretty passive tangs. Scopas was added after the purple. He was more aggressive and bullied the purple when they were similar sizes. So we took the scopas out and placed him in a QT. The purple grew lots whilst it was alone in the main reef and is now bigger. We added the scopas back in after a couple months and all is well. The purple is the boss but is fair and coexists well with the scopas. The only problem is I would like a naso tang in my new Fowlr tank. He will be with angels, lionfish etc. I would like to grow out the naso in the reef before adding too the fowlr. Will this cause problems. The Sailfin is also only around 2” long and so do you know of Achilles, sailfin, purples and scopas’ coexisting? In a large enough tank obviously. Just looking for personal experiences of sailfin and them coexisting with the other tangs mentioned. I know it can depend on specific fish though but would like an idea of how they could be together. I would say the purple is around 6” and the scopas almost 5” thanks and sorry for the waffling lol just need an idea before going to the LFS

Idol = advanced. There is a good thread in the fish section on them. If you haven't already I'd recommend reading through that thread. Worth its weight in gold. No idea on tank size so I'll pass.

...So do you have the tank? What are the dimensions of the tank?

The tank is in a work shop being built ( we’ve ordered a custom to fit room dimensions) it’s around ( apparently varies due to acrylic cuts but only by a slight amount we’re told ) 100 x 25 x 29 the reef is being transferred over to here when it’s finished and then will be left to settle a bit before getting fish like the idol but I would hope that the 525 Xl would be ok for the sailfin as well as my purple and scopas whilst We wait? As long as I find out whether they’re compatible or not

The 525 XL is what, only 110 or so gallons? I'm confused - is this a FOWLR or a reef? And is the list you provided currently housed in the 525 XL? Short and direct answer is no. No more tangs even while waiting...

Unless the 525 XL is your QT the answer is no.

Yes and the 525 xl is around that I think maybe 120 gal. I would have liked to grow out the sailfin a bit before adding all the fish into the new tank as he is so small. But if you think they won’t keep well in that I’ll just wait for the sailfin the new tank will be done in 2 months max so not too long. Thanks for the replies

And the 525 is a reef and I suppose it will be qt once new tank has scape etc but for now it’s the main reef
