setting up a 180 (upgrade from a 120). included in the fish I already have are a 5" yellow tang and a 5" hippo tang. to this, I'd be looking to add either....
2 mid-sized (6"-9") tangs or 'tang comparable' fish (like foxface or butterfly)
or
1 large tang (12"-15").
I'm leaning more towards the 2 fish, because I feel more is better. I was thinking strongly on a one-spot foxface and a copperband butterfly, but I don't have experience with either and I've heard bad things about the hardiness of the copperbands.
as far as tangs, I've considered achilles, powder brown, powder blue, or atlantic blue.
somebody give me some recommendations. the fish will be QT'd with hyposalinity, so the ich concerns shouldn't be a problem.
**I've already had a kole tang and don't want another one, don't find them interesting at all.
the other fish that will be kept will be:
2 (or POSSIBLY 3 dward angels)
either a pair of false perc clowns or 1 maroon
a handful of chromis and cardinals.
it's a reef tank.
