New marine setup

[bodasafa]

Well its imcome tax time so i am adding a new salt water set up to my house . I was thinking of a 88 gal predrilled for a tide pool fillter not sure on skimmer was thinking about seaclone what would you suggest . Was thinking about 45 lb. of fiji and 35 lb. lalo live rock and a good sand. The tank mates will be 2 false clowns (god i love them) 1powter blue tang 1 blue tag 1yellow tang 1 orange goby 1 tiger pistol shrimp 1 skunk cleaner shrimp 1fire shrimp 25 or 30 snails and hermit crabs and 1 red star oh yeah 1 or 2 green tube anemate for the clowns i know i spelled that wrong ) later when it is esabished its self i will add metal hyilides and floresent tubes and put in some corals mushrooms brains (red and green) dusters and some lps not sure witch one yet. So what do you think do you think all the fish will get along with each other i have never had a goby and a pistol shrimp i hope they get together and help each other out well any feed back would be great thanks for reading 8)

Boda. I replied about the tank thing in your other thread. I have seen some real good deals lately.

Example. I just talked to this guy a week ago. He still had the 220 acrylic. I think he said 800.00.

I would only put one tang into a tank that small, unlike your fake clownfish tangs are open water swimmers and need long open areas to swim. I know that it is common to see more than one tang in as small a tank as yours, but to be in a more natural setting I would only go with one tang. Also trying to keep all the tangs well fed will be a chore.
Otherwise your fish list doesn't look to bad. I am setting up a 90 gallon tank, and I am getting a Remora Pro skimmer, I have one on another tank and love it! The seaclone skimmers are carried in almost every pet store, but they are average at best. I would get a good sized sump, around 40 gallons and shoot for a water turn over rate of around 1000 gallons per hour.
