    I want to upgrade to a larger fish tank later. Wondering what size tank would I need for the fish im going to be putting in it. I was hoping a 75g-90g tank would be fine. But im not totally sure anymore since my wife really wants other fish as well...

    2 Porcupine Puffers
    2 Regal tangs (blue tangs)
    2 Ocellarus Clowns
    1 Lawnmower Blenny
    1 Sandshifter Star

    Half my tank would have live rock.

    I would say a 180g minimum, and you can't have two porcupine puffers. They will kill each other

    To my understanding you get karma by posting good and helpful things, or just things people like, to give karma under their name there should be a button that looks like two scales and it gives karma

    Those Regal Tangs really appreciate the swimming room, especially as these fish grow out.

    The two regals will love the room and be happier in a large tank. The puffers will fight!
