Hey guys, I found a 75 gal reef ready tank on cl that I'm hoping hasn't sold yet and I can pick it up this weekend (fingers crossed). I do have a 155 reef tank that I've been working on since I moved out of my parents a few months ago and a 20 gal clown/anemone tank. Been in the hobby almost 2 years so still somewhat of a newbie but not completely inexperienced. I'm looking for some input on a stock list. I've got my heart set on a butterfly, really love the auriga. I know a 75 is not big enough forever but would be alright for a while. I work for a fish store so could trade it in when it got too big. I would also like a dwarf zebra lionfish. Maybe a potters angel? I have tangs in my reef tank so I probably won't be putting any in the 75. If anyone has some unique ideas I would love to hear them! (Sorry for the long post as well)
 
Once you add a Threadfin, any corals are off the table. So I personally would focus on a "butterfly garden" tank and maybe also a couple of dwarf angels.
 
I did some looking around on liveaquaria and found quite a few things that I like. I'm going to have a hard time deciding which ones to get! Good thing I'll have a while to think..possibilities are:
Potters angel
Auriga/racoon/vagabond butterfly are all ones I like
Lamarcks or Watanabei angel
Long nose Hawk fish
Black backed wrasse
And I was thinking of doing a dwarf zebra or antennata lion but that's a big maybe.
Going to be really hard choosing just a few!
