I'm getting a 85 GAL Tank! :D What fish can I put in?

[jnegvesky]

Hey guys! So I've have my 25 GAL and my birthday ( which is a few days after Christmas ) is coming up. Both my dad and I have the same brain, we both are crazy about science, physics, math, and of course salt water fish ( probably cause of the chemistry and science ) Anyway, we want to get a 85 GAL with a really neat flaurescent light . We contacted our reef store and he makes the stands. So we're getting the tank or the stand with the pumps and extras. We already have lots of coral, we like coral more than fish hehe. Anyway, he wants us to pick what goes inside. I definitly want a tang . It's like my favorite fish EVER! The problem is, I know some species can't be in coral tanks -. -..... So can you guys list some fish that would be great to put in? I know this sounds weird but I don't do gobies, I'm not being a baby but they are creepy looking. Like tangs, reef safe angels possibly? All compatible with each other though, cause now I know I can fit a lot more variety in my tank.

If you are keeping coral a florescent isn't the fixture you want. I suggest looking into a LED fixture, LPS: 1watt fixtures are good, SPS you need 3watt or better (Apolo Reef SCL36W; SOL Vega; Maxspect Razor or ECO Tech Radon). As for tang's you are limited due to the size of your tank, (Kole, Tomini or Mimic Half black) most others require 6' long tank or longer. Best to make a list and people will comment on it.
