I have a 180g uniquarium AIO so the actual foot print is 18.5 wide x 72 long. I am at a loss. I was thinking of a more predator setup so I could do macro algae for export with one appropriate sized moray, df puffer, appropriate trigger, and etc. vs. skipping the macro and doing a stocking with a skopus, appropriate Tang or Angel, and fish that would eat macro. I figured the latter would do work on nuissance algae if supplemented with nori and aquatic plant matter. I guess my end goal is not ending up with more than 6-7 fish total. I plan on running a classic 90 hob skimmer on each side.
I welcome any combination of stocking ideas or listings that would look nice. I used to do big cichlid wet pets from my hiatus from reefing so that's why I gravitated to an interactive DF puffer, but I am open to suggestions. I am also open to getting a larger growing fish and rehoming later (I have many options where I am located), but also wouldn't mind fish that would be okay as a forever home.
Only inhabitant is a 2inch Tomato that was my cycling soldier, during my BB+seeded and/or cured LR+LS cycle. Levels never got too out of hand before cycle but I know it is frowned upon.
Stocking ideas?
