I have a 46 Gallon Bowfront sitting around that i would like to setup. Rather than setup another reef tank, i was thinking of venturing into the predator tank world. I've never kept a predator tank before. I know a 46 Gallon really limits my possibilities, but what are my options?
My must have is a lionfish. I was looking at the fuzzy dwarf lionfish.
Other fish I'm interested in, but not sure how they would do in a 46 are:
1. Dwarf Puffer
2. Snowflake Eel
3. Dwarf Angel
4. Bristletooth Tang (for algae control)
5. Some type of larger wrasse
I know all of these would be way overstocked for a 46. I would probably limit my stocking to a total of 3 fish.
I should also note that this will be plumbed to a 20 gallon sump.
