[Daniel@R2R Verified Admin]

no angel fish? got to at least have one angel fish. i have a 180 also and this is my list--black tang-purple tang-yellow tang- adult regal angel-flame wrasse- lineatus wrass- pair of wyoming clown and a pair black snow flake clown- cleaner wrasse and two blue reef chromis. also thinking about adding 5 bartletts anthias

Thanks! I want an angelfish really bad, but I have some pretty expensive coral...and those two don't mix well...

I should also mention that I am starting to rethink the idea of adding the chromis and anthias trio...I'm officially undecided on those...

I'm also thinking about adding some more fairy wrasses to the list...decisions, decisions...

I say no to the butterfly 99% of the time so they die especially if this tank isn't well established yet. Yes to the orange shoulder my friend had one it was very cool. you should geta harlequin wrasse...that's my dream fish my tank is to small though but only if u don't plan on having show inverts

Blue reef chromis are impossible to keep alive IMO. They aren't the same as the blue/green variety.

Thanks! That's kind of what I'm discovering as I look into them. Some people have success, but not many. Also, I'm really wanting more wrasses...or maybe a trio of bar gobies (yes, I saw Mr. Saltwater Tank today) :-)
