180 aquarium

[rvxry11]

This is for those who have a 180 gallon saltwater aquarium, I'm curious what is your guy's stocking and how do y'all have the rocks placed or coral, and stocking, just tryna pick up some ideas and inspiration from those who also have a 180 gallon aquarium

Here's my 180. 4'x3'x2' - pics a month or two old when still going thru my mini cycle.
3 tangs, 6 anthais, 6 damsels, 2 clowns, 2 file fish, 2 wrasse, firefish

That's fire bro, I've always seen 180's with like barely any rock and they look so empty or they're like filled to the brim and it just hurts my eyes

You can do a lot of things with a 180 especially a peninsula.

Look through the build threads for ideas and stocking there is a lot of good stuff there. Mine is fully stocked and I wouldn't/can't add more fish.... maybe a snowflake eel if I come across one cheap. These were all added within a year from cycle and they get along well

Coral Beauty
Fox Face
Hippo tang
Purple tang
Scopas tang
5 lyretail anthias 1m/4f
1 chromis left from the original 12 I used to cycle the tank 5 years ago
Valentini puffer
Melanurus Wrasse
File Fish
2 sissor tail dart fish
2 yellow tail chromis
2 clowns / host bubble tip
Cleaner blenny
mandarin goby
Coral banded shrimp

The tank isn't anything to look at but it works well for the fish the rock is centered in the tank to allow for swimming. I moved most of corals to my lagoon last year and I might just leave it like it is. If I stick an eel in there I will redo the rock.
