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.
