Stock List for a 180 Gallon?
So I need help with the fish I plan on having in this aquarium. I'm purchasing a 180 gallon aquarium (6 feet long) with an overflow system, dry rock and corals. Here's my list of fish that I plan on including in the aquarium.
Blonde Naso Tang Blue Regal Tang Sailfin Tang (or Purple Tang) Longnose Butterflyfish Foxface Rabbitfish Mated pair of Ocellaris Clownfish Pair of Bangaii Cardinalfish Royal Gramma Basslet Group of Blue/Green Chromis Fairy Wrasse Carpenter's Flasher Wrasse Flame Angel Watchman Goby + Pistol Shrimp Pair Yellow Clown Goby Tailspot Blenny Scooter Blenny Red Ruby Dragonet Mandarin Dragonet (after establishing a sufficient population of copepods, of course.) also a cleanup crew and some cleaner shrimp. Not sure about which corals I'll buy yet. Let me know what I should change and keep. |

Thanks alot, here's what I'm thinking the list should be from what you said.
Blue Regal Tang Purple Tang Foxface Rabbitfish Mated pair of Ocellaris Clownfish Pair of Bangaii Cardinalfish Royal Gramma Basslet Fairy Wrasse A few Anthias Carpenter's Flasher Wrasse Coral Beauty Angel (Is it safer than a flame angel?) Watchman Goby + Pistol Shrimp Pair Tailspot Blenny Scooter Blenny Red Ruby Dragonet & a Mandarin Dragonet (after establishing a sufficient population of copepods, of course.) I decided to include the foxface in the list anyways. I just have to hope I buy/raise one that's a little more friendly than most rabbitfish. As for the Naso, what's a better fish to replace it for? I was thinking of getting a Moorish Idol (under the right conditions). Let me know what you guys think. |

I am doing a similar stock list for my tank and am planning on adding a blue throat trigger or long horn cowfish as another large fish.
These may be good options for you as well if you don’t want to add another tang. If you do want another tang instead of the naso I would look at a bristletooth type and add all 3 at once |

If I decide to purchase a moorish idol instead of a bristletooth, would that work too? |

my foxface is a model citizen, shes so friendly to everyone and just hangs out. also look into a midas blenny, very cool. and maybe a halichoeres wrasse, although I wouldn't recommend one with mandarins as they'd be competing. |

IMO if your going to go with a dwarf angel you might as well get the flame if that's what you like I don't really see any benefit to getting a coal beauty over it you are taking a chance with either. Starcki damsels are a good substitute if you want reef safe they obviously aren't an angel but look similar.
