Stocking list for (hopefully) future 100 gallon.

Well I want it to be colourful, I don't really like single colour fish, like the atlantic tang. Also solid not transparanty colours also like the atlantic tang. The 100 gallon will be 4' across, 25" wide, and 20" tall.
 
I was thinking os just putting a regular sponge for house hold uses on the sand for about a week, then putting it in the QT. Since it's on the sand lots of bacteria will be on it right?
 
Also when changing the water I of the QT I should just use the old water of the mian tank right?
 
Man! 4 posts in a row! Anyways, do you have a link showing lot's of species of tangs suitable for aquariums? Pictures too please! I don't really want a blue tang and a yellow tang, it's like the nemo setup... nemo, his wife, dry the tang in the dentists, and Mr.foxface... So, I want a blue tang and a tang other than the yellow tang. I love the achilles tang, but I know it does not do well in captivity.
 
I don't think a sponge being in your main tank only a week would have time to get enough of the "good" bacteria on it- it wouldn't be as establised. You can also move a piece of LR or LR rubble, a portion of any floss you have and sand is a common one.

Like what, with shape or personality? How about a dwarf angel?
 
Wait, will a regal tang and a sailfin work? If yes, that'll be my tangs I'm getting in December or January or whenever
 
Regal should work, the Sailfin is usually recommended for larger tanks- they swim more (a zebrasoma- like the active yellow tang) and can get over a foot long. You can still add a dwarf angel, with the tang, if you're interested in any of them.
