I'm trying to plan out a build before buying anything at all, and want to have a good plan for stocking.
My system is going to be limited to a 4ft tank, due to space constraints, which likely makes it a 90 or 120 gallon tank.
The plan is a mostly lps/nem mixed reef with lots of inverts.
I've got plans for most of the fish I want to stock, which include fairy wrasse, dartfish, peaceful damsels, Cardinals, etc.
What I need is 1 or 2 "centerpiece" fish that is a little bigger and brings the wow factor to the tank.
The problem I'm running across is entirely reef/invert safe fish that can be this in a 4ft system. I'm sensitive to the space needs of Tangs, and the smaller yellow/brown species don't fit the bill. I love angels, butterflies and triggers but most are not reef and invert safe.
Is there anything out there that's larger than the typical 2-4 inch reef safe fish that would really make this system pop?
