I've never gotten a good pic of my 6-line. They just move too much and too fast.

Re: First Fish

If you add a powder brown please make sure to take great caution to it because mine is so vulnerable that if i look at it wrong it will get ich.

I agree
With the Tangs it's a tossup but I would recommend that the smaller Tang be added first.

Grenadine, a Six Line Wrasse. The next fish will be the yellow watchman.
here you go. unfortunately, Grenadine got sucked into our CL and was a gonner so we went ahead and got the yellow watchman and pistol shrimp. check out my chronicle.

Re: First Fish

Well you want to add the least agressive irst, so the Watchman. The Wrasse needs a well develop reef to sustain itself, so later in the development of your tank when there is more to eat from the LR. The tangs are bigger so last in my opinion. The firefish, would be second, third wrasse, then tangs.
