Re: 120g new aquarium

I would use a combination of live rock and base rock as far as decoration goes.They make trhe best bio-filters as well.I would skip the Naso tang for sure as they grow fast and huge-over a foot and a half.I believe a Regal will eventually outgrow that size tank.

Perhaps look into a Purple,Powder Blue(Ich magnet though),Powder Browns,Kole etc.All those and many more stay under 10''.Look into one of nice and colorful wrasse as well.One of the fairy wrasse would look great in there.

Re: 120g new aquarium

flasher wrasses are great. Atlantic blue tangs are wonderful additions as well. Don't forget Bartlett's Anthias as well, beautiful fish
