I am planning on having a tank with LR and Reefs in it. This is what I like so far for fish.
Maroon Clownfish
Six line wrasse
Coral beauty angelfish
Kauderns cardinal
Yellow tang
Bicolor blenny
and then I also like the longfin bannerfish(heniochus black and white butterfly fish and the blue tang. Im not sure if the blue tang would fit in my aquarium though.
I know all of these fish wont fit in my aquarium but these are the ones I like. I just need advice on what would be good together.
Thanks!
 
I'd go with the clown, wrasse, cardinal, blenny, and the heniochus. That's going to be pretty well maxed. The tangs will likely be stressed in the smaller setup in the long run. A better group, IMO, would be to have the clown, the wrasse or the blenny, and a pair of heniochus.
 
Oh and I also like the blue tuxedo urchin and the orange starfish. There is just to much to pick from
 
I am not sure if I am going to keep reefs yet or not. I for sure want Live Rock in my aquarium. Reefs are so beautiful but im just not sure if I want them yet or not.
 
You can start with some undemanding corals, like mushrooms or anthelia, and get more elaborate later if you want.

I am not sure which orange star you're thinking about, but a lot of them ship very poorly and ultimately die in aquaria.
 
Thanks for the advice. Hmm maybe I will forget about the orange star then. Yeah Im still thinking of having a reef tank. I still need some time to research it a bit more.
