    Hi guy i am fairly new to the forum and marine aquariums. I have had a tank before but did not have that much success. This time with research, and help of the forum i plan on starting a 48"x36"x36" i checked the calculator and said it is 269 gallons. I am going to have a FOWLR then a reef. My question is what fish can i add i want a yellow tang and a pair of clowns for sure. Other than this what fish can i add. thanks in advance

    Hello, and Welcome!

    Honestly, there are far too many that are reef safe and appropriate for that tank to try to list. Here's a website where you can check the ones you like (also a great place to order once you've made some choices). They also have a compatibility chart to help avoid excessive bullying between tankmates. :)

    +1 on Mr Bill here
    in fact with a tank of 269 gallons, it seems like it would easier for me to write the list of fish you possibly should not add
