    So my 55g has been up for about a week and half. I used all live substrate and live rock from my 20g that was pretty established. Now it looks insanely bare! The wife is bored with it and wants a "bigger fish". I'm just wondering about options. Params haven't spiked yet and I don't expect much. I was thinking about a tang or foxface lo, but what I've read says you need 70g minimum. I've also seen tons of pics of 55g's with yellow tangs, foxfaces, butterflies, sailfin tangs. Are there do-able options?

    you could probably fit a yellow tang in there. I have one. But a dwarf angel like a coral beauty is a good sized docile yet beautiful fish ;)
