New 75 gal tank - advice??

[kerriann]

Hey everyone,
me and my boyfriend have finally upgraded from our 24 gal nano and we're lookin for suggestions on our 75 gal set up. right now we just have live sand cycling. how much live rock do you recommend?? any fish recommendations? we don't want anything aggressive and we tend to favor brighter colored fish

1. LR- Typically you want to have 1 to 1/2 pounds of LR for the tank size. More is better IMO. The LR is the best filtration you can get in the tank. It can be very expensive but the good thing is you do have the option to add it here and there.
2. Fish recommendations. A flame angel is a very bright colored fish. (needs a mature tank with lots of LR though. but you can keep a spot open for one later on down the road.
Clownfish are pretty colorful IMO
Anthias
sixline wrasse
other wrasses
pseudochromis
blennies
Lots of others.
