Hey Guys,

I am thinking my tank could use a few more fish. It is 8' x 3' x 30"H (425g)

My current fish are:

8" Queen Angel​
5" French Angel​
6" Emperor Angel​
8" Sailfin tang​
5" Purple tang​
6" Naso​
5" Sohal​
5" Hippo tang​
5" Yellow tang​
3" Barbonius anthias​
2" file fish​
3" lawn mower blenny​
3" diamond goby​
6" Mono​
4" declevis butterfly​

I am thinking about adding a trigger, more anthias, morish idol or some other active swimmers. The tank is a reef tank, however I had to be very selective in the corals, as the angels and the butterfly ate a football sized rock cover in zoas in 20min. SPS seem to be fine.

Any suggestions?

Thanks!

Jason
 
I forgot I also have a 4" gold stripe maroon
 
That's a nice tank! Maybe get some wrasses in there? They're generally active, fast and agile. Do you have sand? Macropharygodon and Halichoeres wrasses are beautiful reef-safe sand sleepers.

I’ll look into wrasses more.

It just seems so empty!
 
I wish I had that kind of space to work with.
 
A blue throat trigger would look beautiful in that tank. :)

It’s the most peaceful and reef safe trigger out there, and it might look nice in ur tank.
 
Are cross hatch Trigger’s reef safe?
