    I would do emperors, korans, and queen angels.
    Ofcourse this are for fish only.
    However I have seen people keep some of this angels on large systems without harming their corals. Not sure how that works though

    I think it's a combination of feeding enough to keep them full, and the raw quantity of coral allows for some small-scale nipping without serious problems.

    Lmao. There was a kid who always came in to the LFS I work at and we were setting up a 200G Cube Acrylic tank one of these times. He asked what we were going to put in it and we said a mermaid. We were going to get my GF to put a mermaid costume on and swim in the tank the next time he came in.

    You should play it safe and only put one clown fish in there. Don't want to over populate that. Haha I think that would be hilarious, one small a** fish in there. Like a midget in an air craft hanger. (No offense to any if "little people" if there are any on this forum of course.)

    It's a good idea to check on fish compatibility so you don't end up putting in expensive fish food. Water changes will be a major undertaking!! Is it to be fish only or coral too? If coral check if fish are apt to eat it. I like the mermaid idea.
