Current fish in my 180.
- Naso tang
- Purple tang
- Mimic yellow tang
- Hippo tang
- Hippo tang yellow belly
- Foxface rabbitfish
- Coral Beauty
- Melanurus Wrasse
- Flame hawk
- 2 clowns
- Bangi Cardinal
- File fish
- Square Spot Anthias

The last addition was over 2 years ago. This is already a lot of fish. But was hoping to add a few more once I upgrade from the 180 to the 260. Also thinking of rehoming the fox face because he is getting really big.

Fish I would like to add to the above:
- Pyramid Butterfly
- Banner Angel
- Blue throat trigger
- Regal angel

I plan on having a large sump, large refugium, and skim aggressively.

Could this work or is the tank too small. I think I'm pushing my stocking on my 180 right now. I have 60 gallon refugium and 100 gallon sump that helps.

Will be a mixed reef. Basically will relocate what it my current 180. Mostly SPS and chalices. Also have frogspawn, candy cane, and zoas. Would be fine with the Zoas going away.
 

Looking back to your reefing roots: Did you start with Instant Ocean salt?
