If you can swing it, I'd say look at a 240gal over a 180gal. Basically the same dimensions, except obviously the 240 is 8 feet, where the 180 is six feet. It opens up a a few fish options, like Naso tangs, and is a thoroughly appropriate home for tangs in general.

i wish i could swing the 240 but i dont have the extra 2 feet where i wanna put the tank. already put down on a 180 so the store will hold it in stock for me. I WISH I WISH I COULD!

Yea, there certainly isn't anything wrong with a 180gal. It is quite the tank. Just for the Naso tang and Crosshatch trig I have in 240gal, they just enjoy all of the 240gal, I really couldn't see them in a 180gal. Plenty of good other fish though!

its a six foot tank, i would love a 8 foot tank
i think a 6 foot tank is big enough for me, but i would prolly think different if i already had a 6 foot. lol
