finally i get my 210g all glass tank with overflows. it shall be so exciting. so anyways i have right now a 75g and a 55g that i will be combining into the 210g. livestock at the moment to make the trip to the 210g is a a (my favorite fish) achilles tang, and then a maculous angel. so i got a lot of bio load to work with for this tank. it will be a FOWLR tank. it will eventually be stocked with 200+ live rock and i will have 200lbs of sand. so get down to it. what shall i put in it. i have thought about a blue ribbon eel i know they are hard to keep but hey they look sweet and i have nothing other to do but raise a blue ribbon. so yah what are your suggestions. once i get the tank i will keep the pictures coming.
thanx

We are almost planning the same tank, except mine's 220g and reef. Either way you may want some like myself. If I was to suggest anything I would say a pair of blue throat triggers! I will have a pair in my tank. ATM they are chillin' in the frag tank waiting for their new home to be setup. I also have a purple tang, and fuzzy dwarf lion drip acclimating that I picked up a few hours ago. If I could only find a healthy achilles I think my stock list would be dang near set.
My stock atm is:
Yellow tang
Swallowtail angel
Pair of GSM's
Blenny
Pair of Blue Throats
Purple Tang
Fuzzy Dwarf
I want to add:
Achilles or Powder Blue
Black Durgeon Trigger
I'm sure a few others, but for now that's good.
Good Luck!

my achilles so far has done pretty well. it had some bacterial disease but some melafix got rid of it. after that so far hes doing pretty well. they are my favorite fish. i thought about a clown but hit or miss how aggressive he will be to the much bigger fish. prolly going to get a naso tang. and if i don't get the clown i will get a trio of Heniochus Butterflys. after that who knows. i love my achilles and hope he lasts. the blue ribbon will go in last. i have read that thread and that was my inspiration that it could be done. until that thread i was always staying away.

yes i will be putting intially 200lbs live rock and 200lbs live sand. i will then be making some of my own prolly another 100lbs and adding that rock later. if i end up not making the rock i will prolly just buy another 100lbs. cure it another tank and add a piece a week or so. anyways i will have all together around 200lbs sand maybe 250 just depends on what kind of deal i can get on what i already don't have. then 300lbs rock in the end. i think i will quite enough for a nice size bioload. also have a wet/dry eshopps filter underneath. so i think with that and the powerheads plenty of movement and airation.
thanx keep em coming
