    Ok here's another scenario I'm pondering...
    80 Gallon Reef:
    (Pair) Ocellaris Clownfish
    Royal Gramma
    Firefish
    Yellow Tang
    Kaudern Cardinal
    Blue Tang
    ...with all the goodies (inverts/live rock/corals)

    100 Gallon F/O:
    Heniochus B & W Butterfly Fish
    Flame Angelfish
    (Pair) B & W Ocellaris Clownfish
    Convict Tang
    One Spot Foxface
    ...any other ideas??

    Thought? Comments? Suggestions?

    Thanks guys,

    -Ben

    Not sure about the combos if they are compatible but I like the sound of the 100 gal. One note, if you get a firefish, make sure you have egg crate on top, they are jumpers! I lost mine about a month ago through a 2" hole in the back of my hood! Crazy! Would the 100 be with all the goodies too?

    if you drop the pair of clown fish from the 100 and move a tang to the 100 and i would say your in business.
    do you really need two sets of percs or osc lol

    Yah the 100G would be filled with some good stuff just no coral obviously. My LFS actually said I could try a couple small cheap corals, but it would mainly just have the usual live rock/inverts. SoStoudt do you think the convict tang and blue tang would get along well? In that case I could just move the Blue over to the 100G F/O and keep the reef with just one yellow tang. What do you think?

    Thanks,

    -Ben

    i don't have expierence with that tang. but however you shuffle it the 2 tangs should end up in the 100 not the 80.

    edit: they may get along due to the big color variation, and since there not the same type of tang. i would add both at the same time if doing it for safety
