Upgrade Advise

[fishforever29]

So I have an established 75 gl set up that's been running for the past 2 years. I'm sure I'm going to get some heat from this *see thread title, I'm upgrading to a much larger set up* but my stocking consists of the following: 1x juvenile naso tang, 1x juvenile scopas tang, 1x juvenile redtoothed triggerfish, 1x ocellaris clownfish, 1x snowflake eel, and 1x juvenile saddle valentini puffer.

Other details of the tank include its rock work (no corals), protein skimmer, heater, and of course a large filter. What size tank should I upgrade to--I'm currently considering a 250 gl or larger? Also interested on your thoughts of my stocking choices. I don't have any aggression or other behavioral issues, but I realize this could partially be due to my fish being young, so I'm trying to plan for the long haul.

Please be kind and tactful with your response. I am seeking advice as to plan my upgrade so that my fish live life to the fullest. Thank you!

Based on the fish you have, I think the minimum tank size you need is a 180g. A 250g tank would be plenty for the fish you have, and unless you’re planning on adding giant groupers or something similar, anything larger than that would be excessive imo.

I would go as big as you can!
