first fish
 
If you had a 180 gal tank what would you like to start with? Has to be reef safe though.

I think the general rule of thumb is to add the smaller fish first. What do you want in your tank do you have a list or stuff you want to get?

When I added fish to my 120G I added 4 Juvenile fish at the same thing without a problem they all get along.

Just don't add any damsel! Chromis would make a great choice :) A school of them is a lot of fun to watch :D

No Damsels for sure.They are pretty but not where I want to go.I want to do sps so I need suggestions for reef safe,sps safe.You get the idea. Chromis are awesome but I don't want to purchase 13 to end up with 1 in the end...

I definitely like smaller schooling fish though. I'd like to avoid anything thats going to get to the size of a dinner plate,eats that much,and craps that much.:mrgreen:

A school of Anthias are nice. Planning that for my 210

Anthias hmmm. They are beautiful for sure. I think I will need something like a grid or mesh to keep them in the tank no? Or is it wrasses?

I alaways add Chromis first as well, safe and cheap way to make sure everything goes "good"
