    I have been thinking about what fish to put in this beast of a tank, I know the possibilities are endless and thats what makes it hard. lol So far I have 2 green chromis, 1 pink skunk clown, 1 coral beauty, and 1 foxface. I know i want 2 mandarins, a flame angel, another pink skunk clown and a mimic lemonpeel tang (seen it on vivid aquariums). I think small schools of peacful colorful fish would look pretty cool, so I was thinking maybe 5-6 dispar anthias, 3-4 banggai cardinals, a couple more green chromis, and maybe 3-4 purple fire fish. I am open to any and all ideas.

    If I had a tank that size, a Naso Tang would be high on my list.

    Lavender tang. They are ugly lil buggers when they are little but adults are gorgeous and my favorite tang. ... And they are cheap, too. Don't look at live aquaria for a representative picture of them, though.
