180g Stock list

[Jmck]

To start with, I will be moving my existing clown pair and mandarin pair from my 60g to the big tank. The other fish I was thinking of are below. Are there any other large reef fish that arent super aggressive and would be considered for a predator tank that you would recommend? or maybe even different tangs or whether these tangs are good/bad? I thought of a blue tang, so thats another possibility to add in.

in my 60g

They are normally reef safe. One of the few triggers that you can keep in a reef tank (the others being crosshatch, niger and blue throat). I had one for years. It was one of my favorite fish ever.

I saw your post actually when i searched google. They look so friendly and so amazing! so ill see if my LFS can find one for me :)

 

[Jmck]

What kind of corals are you looking at having?

 

[Jmck]

Everything basically. I want to get a lot of SPS going.

 

[BL1]

If you're not going to have any polyps you could get an angel of some kind. My two favorite tangs would be too big for your tank.

 

[Jmck]

which are your 2 favorite tangs?

And what do you mean by polyps? like zoas and so forth?

 

[BL1]

My two favorites are Dussumieri and Fowleri tangs[FONT=&quot].

That's usually all I see angels picking at.

[Jmck]

Mmm, ill probably stay away from angels, flame angel would be a maybe.

How big a tank do you need for those two tangs?

 

[BL1]

recommendations say 250+ both get to be 20+ inches

 

[Jmck]

Ohhh fair enough, so an 8ft tank minimum, that sucks! they are too awesome looking tangs :(
