[boom215]

im am askin for everyones opinion here, EVERYONE.
i have a 75 tank and dont have any idea of what fish type i want i like reef safe fish but dont know if i can put out even moooore money on lights. i prolly could just wait and buy them in a few weeks but id rather not. anywho, i would everyones opinion on what type of fish you guys and gals would put in a 75 size tank or maybe what fish yous have in your 75 tank. aggressive reef safe what ever i just dont know what i wnt to do. i like reef but there nothing special to me and i dont think i want to go that way but i might??? im leaning towards aggressive but they all get so big and i woould like about 5 fish in my tank, more if i could. please help. also im a lil tired and going to bed after this been up for 25 hours now.

A 75g tank is not a good size to use for an aggressive fish only tank unless you just want a few smaller fish and no corals or inverts. I would go with a peaceful community tank with a few corals and inverts added after you get some time in with the fish and the tank is stable with lots of live rock ( 75-100lbs).
Example fish collection: Flame angel, royal gramma, pair of ocellaris clownfish, and a kole tang.
Good luck!

YELLOW WRASSE, FAIRY WRASSES, CARDINAL FISH, FIRE FISH, GOBYS, HAWKFISH, ANGELS AREN REALLY REEF SAFE BUT THEY LOOK GREAT
HOPE THIS HELPS

in my 75 i have a queen angel 2 damsels a blue and a yellowtail blue and a maroon clown. then a bunch of inverts like hermit crabs about 30, 2 pin cushion urchins and a fire shrimp. they all get along with no problems. i got live sand mixed with crush coral in there and about20 pounds of live rock. i refuse to have corals,anemones,or anything else that needs that expensive lighting because i know with my luck i'll spend all that money including what i have to spend on the corals and something will go wrong.
