The Lt Tang and Coral Beauty have not been the easiest to photograph lol. Thankfully so far the Coral Beauty has not touched our Duncan. Hopefully that continues.

Not a lot of "schooling" options, though shoaling is the better term LOL -- but Anthias perhaps? difficult though and not very aggressive. I'd avoid damsels...Current line up..
1 Lt tang, 1 Vlaminigi tang, 1 Flame tang, 2 Yellow tangs, 1 magnificent foxface, 1 marine betta, 1 coral beauty angel, 1 bonded pair of clowns, 1 Banggai cardinal, 1 green chromi, 1 golden face goby, 1 scooter blenny, 1 aipstasia eating filefish (who isn't eating any of ours lol), 1 bonded pair watchman goby/pistol shrimp, 1 Melanurus Wrasse, 1 duncan coral and various inverts (mostly lots of snails and a few hermits).
We had a CBB but it passed last night/this morning. It apparently had stopped eating best I can tell after having it for almost a month. Tried all kinds of foods and it just gave up
Looking at future additions, I think we are going to have to stay with ones that are aggressive when it comes to feeding. Our line up is getting along really well but when it's feeding time they go wild and the CBB just wasn't willing to do the same. I even tried putting it in an acclimation box yesterday and target feeding, but too little, too late.
We over skim and do a pretty good job of exporting out waste and nitrates.
Trying to think of some schooling fish or ones we can keep more than one of. Definitely going to add a couple more chromis, but not sure what else we can add. Any suggestions? We aren't ever going to be a coral heavy tank, possibly one or two more down the road of hardy, easy types like the duncan.
@4FordFamily I assume we probably don't want to add any more tangs unless we 100% have a bigger tank in the future. The Vlaminigi alone is either going to have to get re-homed or force a bigger tank (the wife really wanted it lol).

Looking good!
Looks good. I am upgrading to a 180 myself and look forward to the added room. I would agree with the anthias as a shoaling fish. I've had a couple different varieties and I love the movement and color they bring to the tank
Haha. Yeah I understand the wanting to go bigger. I plan on multiple tangs, purple, Achilles, PBT, and possibly a sohal. 2 different species of anthias, CBB, and a midas blenny are the only for sure fish yet. My son has a small tank i will be transferring a scooter blenny who eats pellet and frozen as well as a cherub pygmy angel.
