Hello everyone a friend gave me 120 gallon acrylic salt water set up with sump and pump. He also gave me all the fish a powder blue tang, emperor tang, foxy face tang, hippo tang, yellow tang, 5 percular clowns and a couple other fish i dont know the name too. All the fish are over 6" inches, now my question is i have a previous small set up where i have a torch, frog spawn, brain, and couple of zoas. Can i put my coral and invertebrate in the 120 set wit the rest of the other fish?

No, chances are they will destroy the coral. I recommend setting up a coral tank completely separately from the 120. You cant even combined the systems via a sump because of the nitrate levels in a fish only tank will be insane.

posting here was a good start, i also suggest you start doing some reading on each individual fish. Some of those fish are Reef safe and others aren't. some of species are wrong also. Neither the Fox face or emperor is a tang.

Emperor is an angel.
Fox Face i believe is a rabbitfish.

Guess you didn't read the "Can't keep multiple Angels in a single tank theory".LOL You go sir!!
Can we see some pix? Do you have a tank thread, sounds like a phenomenal site to behold!!!!

fr3sco, do try to verify the type of fish are coming with the 120.;) Some of those fish are reef safe, and would not be a problem to put corals in with them. On the other hand if indeed there is a rabbit & angel in the mix it could be iffy. I do have an angelfish in my 155 gallon reef, and so far 2 yrs. he has been a model citizen, and I love this fish so much that if it does go for the corals my tank will be FOWLR.;) It is a decision I made before I added him to the mix.;)
