So my plans changed 287 times for my new (used) tank. But the tank is bought, so finally moving forward.
It’s a 180 Gallon bow front. Of course my first step is to clean the bojesus out of it.
It came with a sump, all plumbing, I’ll probably have to upgrade the skimmer (pictures of tank and sump below)
For power heads I’ll be using 2 MP 40s
Lights - I’ve made several threads, and I think I landed on a hydra 52, with 2 AI prime pucks on the sides and behind the 52
I will be putting some chalice/ other LPS corals but coral in this tank will be limited, as several of my selected fish are “reef safe with caution”
Here is my stock list. I followed the 1” of max size per gallon rule, but it seems like a big list. I’m 100% open to feedback and critique here. I’ll put some brief explanations where I think it’s needed or I have questions. I have looked at LA comparability chart as part of my research
Purple tang
White tail bristletooth tang
Magnificent Foxface
Sargassum trigger fish
Emperor Angelfish
Copperband butterfly fish
(I read that the cirrhilabrus family of wrasse will get a long together, so I have a lot of them)
Orange back fairy wrasse
Exquisite fairy wrasse
Ruby longfin wrasse
Scott’s fairy wrasse
Male leneatus fairy wrasse
2x female fairy wrasse (I red the male will do better with 2 females present)
Black axle chromis x5
Pajama cardinal fish x5
Zebra barred dart fish x 5
Total inches at max size is 152” which is under 180. Is that too many fish? My current tank is 40, so this is a big upgrade so I’m unsure.
Thanks for any and all feedback!
