I have a 180g display, 40g sump, a skimmer rated for 200g heavy bioload (500 g
light) and 2 reactors (1 carbon and 1 gfo). I do 20% weekly water changes (could
get away with 10%). 0 ammonia, 0 nitrite, nitrates less than 5 ppm, pH 8.1, and
sg 1.025. I have 2 ocellaris clowns, 2 blue throat triggers and a yellow tang.
I'm looking to add a final fish or maybe two depending on recommendations. Here
is a list of fish that I like. I do not intend to add all of the fish below
just 1 or 2 from that list.


Flame angel
Mystery
wrasse
Harlequin tusk
Blue Girdled Anglefish
Dogface Puffer
Goldbar
wrasse
Banana Wrasse
Niger Trigger
Humu trigger
Magnificent
foxface
Purple Tang

A lfs had a great deal on a show size sailfin tang
in immaculate condition, but I know my tank would be too small for that and
passed on it.

If it is a reef, I would go with a Mystery Wrasse, foxface, or Purple tang. I would stay away from angels or anymore triggers.

Thanks for all of the suggestions. It is a fowlr. Do you think since I already have a yellow tang that if I put in a purple tang it would be a death match?

Yellow and purple shouldn't be a problem but don't quote me. Tangs don't like tangs of similar color and shape. The shape is somewhat similar but the colors are obviously opposite. I've seen a yellow and purple do just fine in a 200.

Thanks for all of the suggestions. Is there a fish not on the list that you would recommend?
