Full grown I would go 180 as long as it's not filled with rock.

I would say for any grouper you would need about 1000 gallons.

I would say at least 300 for an adult one.
But, should be noted that most consider the adults to be ugly compared to the juvis.

I have seen people with this fish in 150 and I feel sorry for the fish, way to small for a fish that gets that large. I would go with atleast a 300
