    depends on the dimensions... but almost anything you want.
    Also, there is no set number as to how much you can have. It is based on the bioload and how effective the tank is at exporting DOC

    Anywhere between 0 and 150, and from 0.5" to small shark sized.

    One mermaid. Granted you have a skimmer rated for 1000gallons and keep the lighting to a lower spectrum to keep some nice colors.

    you can get your groupers and triggers if you get that. but bewary of the triggers you get some(undulate) will kill anything they see, so research the species first.
