Stocking a 72 Bow Front

[SherryQ]

I considering what fish to put in a 72 bow front aquarium. Some of my dream fish are:

Scott's Fairy Wrasse
Coral Beauty Angel
Mandarin Goby
Purple Tang.

Are these possibilities?

Could I put another wrasse in with the Scott's Fairy Wrasse?

Could other bottom dwellers (gobies, blennies, jawfish) be kept with a Mandarin Goby.

What do you have in your tanks of this similiar size?

What is the max number of large or small fish?

I have a lot of research to do - I just thought I'd hear what you all think.
Thanks!

Tropical Isle in framingham has a -bunch- of mandarin's. They're small, but soo cool!
Hope you've got lots of pods

Whatever you do, put in the purple tang last or you'll have problems.
I also have a 72 bowfront and it is fully stocked with a pair of ocellaris clowns, a neon goby, a royal gramma, a hippo tang, a flame angel, and a purple tang.

That sounds cool. Any pics?

One more thing - this will be a clownfish free tank.

I used to have a 72 gallon BF. I had a pair of Perc Clowns, a Watchman Goby, a small school (5) of Green Chromis, and a Bangaii Cardinal. That seemed to be pretty stable for about a year I'd say.

Hi Sherry as for mandarins/dragonets and gobies I have never had a problem I have always had either my mandarin (5 years till he jumbed ) with a pair of watchmans and a pair of engineers in the 120 they started in a 55 now I got 2 red scotters in with the watchman and everyone is happy the second red scotter was just added last week but the others has been there since the store trip...
