6 ft tank pics and stock list

I can't figure out what to do with new tank. My mind changes every day. Tank is a aga 180. One half wants to do an lps dominate tank with alot of nano size fish, a black tang, and 1 other large fish still not decided. Other half is an aggressive tank because I love alot of their personallity. Just dont want to get bored after fish are in (which will be no time soon nor will I rush). I love my aggressive reef but hate the fact that most critters I like to watch don't last long with some exceptions ( my cbs, urchins) just lost my huge hermit to my bird wrasse. Love my reef but fish just dont act like my puffer and trigger. Anyone have some pics of their larger tanks?

well, for what its worth....in my 180, i had an aggressive tank setup for years - volitan, morray, few triggers, and different grouper. I loved watching the fish swim around...problem was, tons of feeding, fish get huge...and after a few years of constantly cleaning the tank to make it look nice (inside and out), i gave most of my stuff away and started a reef!
