Help stock my first FOWLR tank!

[TARHEEL78]

I'm going to be moving my current reef in to a larger tank, after that I'm going to convert my 180 tank to a fish only set up so I can have all the fish I can't have now. So, 180 gallons 6x2x2 and I'd like it to be relatively peaceful as my girlfriend hates to see fish get bullied. Let's see your suggestions!

50 gallons per fish. 3 nice happy fish

Lots of (non reef safe) Wrasse options and dwarf angels come to mind, maybe a pair of designer clowns. Or a blue spotted puffer. You have a lot of options (for more then three fish) with that footprint.

You can still have a “peaceful” tank you just have to choose fish that are on the same level as far as size and temperament.

I'm hoping to move on from my reef also and maybe keep by reef with no fish and going for a 6x2x2 also

For me I'm hoping to stock mostly from my local water fish around sri Lankan.
My main thing is to get
4-5 smll to medium size schooling banner fish.
1 emporer anglefish
2-3 types of butterfly
1 blond neso
1 hippo tang.

sounds like a good plan.
I am doing the same with a 200/275 70x30x22
hopefully all peaceful. the plan is:
3-4 dwarfs angles
3 smaller butterflies
a few smaller wrasses
a smaller tang
maybe an emp. angel love watching them change.

all that said the emp. and naso prob. will out grow your tank. but as there local to your area I guess you could trade them out for young ones when that happens.
