    Hey Reefers, looking for suggestions on a stocking list. Moving into a new home in about 2 months and I have a 240g tank on order that I will be setting up in the basement. I want to go FOWLR with this one and showcase some large, reef unsafe fish. This tank will house my favorite SW fish of all time: a French Angel! Other than that its all up in the air. It would be nice to have a pair of triggers (niger or bluejaw), a larger tang (clown or naso), some other large angelfish (if that is possible), and maybe a Miniata coral grouper. Another cool idea might be to make the tank a Caribbean biotope, but I wouldn't know where to start with that.

    So my question is, what would you stock if you had a 240g tank with a French angelfish in it?

    I can only dream of having a tank that big :). Im very excited to see it start up.

    Will you be doing a build thread from start to finish?

    If it were me, in a FOWLR, I would look into a black tang, I think they are beautiful specimen, and maybe some lionfish? I dont know if lionfish can be successfully kept with tangs though.
