[AquaticFinatic]

I thought asking this question would help lol. There are lots of nice fish in those lists so far. Mmmmmmmmmm I need a bigger tank! I see that I will need to have two tanks one reef and one fowlr. Wonder how I can pull this one of past the wife?? Thanks guys so far.

I would be surprised if it would help because at the end this is all a matter of personal taste and also a matter of each fish personality.

Some people love their yellow tang, I hated mine with a passion.

[born]

- Magnificent Foxface
- Longnose Hawkfish
- Blonde Naso Tang
- Achilles Tang

- And even though it's an invert, have to mention Peacock Mantis Shrimp

[SkunkClown]

In no particular order. I have all of these.

1) Tomini tang
2) Royal gramma
3) Flame angelfish
4) Bicolor angelfish
5) Skunk clown

I'm quite fond of the bristletooth tangs. I like kole tangs and chevron tangs. I wish chevron tangs retained their juvenile coloration.

[Lampshade]

1) Bariene Tang - Pictures do not do this fish justice
2) Flame Hawkfish - He killed more shrimp than he was worth, but lots of personality
3) Lawnmower Blenny - Uglier than ugly, but saved me from the hair algae outbreak of '10
4) Engineer Goby - They've burried a few frags, but when they come out from the rock they're pretty much a foot long eel that will never hurt a fish. They also turnover the sand under rocks.
5) Copperband Butterfly - I've tried twice, won't again, my tanks too aggressive. Gorgeous fish and I give credit to people who have systems that can handle them.

My top 5 in my reef tank:

Blonde Tang ( have )
Powder Blue Tang ( have )
Copper Band Butterfly ( have )
Lieutenent Tang (have )
Sailfin Tang ( have )

My top 5 in my FOWLR

Valintine Puffer ( have )
Flame Angel ( have )
Blue Spotted Puffer ( have )
Niger Trigger ( have )
Clown Trigger or Koran Angel ( want )

I do love any Naso tang, but your tank isn't big enough for vlamingi or unicornis... Go with elegans (blond Naso).

What are your thoughts regarding your own 2 monsters going forward? Given that your tank is large yet has a somewhat unconventional footprint for large tangs...
