I have one in a 210 with a turboflotor skimmer, 2 seio 1500's, pretty basic set up. A lot of live rock, shrooms, star polyps, nothing fancy with the coral. It was about 3 inches when added about a year ago it is currently fat and happy. There are a lot of fish in the tank:
Clown tang
purple tang
kole tang
emperor angel
lg heniouchus butterfly
lime green wrasse
green bird wrasse
cigar wrasse
cuban hogfish
lawnmower blenny
tomato clown
3xpajama cardinal
yellowtail damsel
blue spot puffer
longnose hawkfish
2xserpant star
ugly white urchin
2 cucumbers

my friend had one for years in his system, it grew to at least 10-12 inches, he has since taken his system down, but his website is still up, you can see a picture of it on the homepage and read about his system if you'd like
