OK,
Just upgraded to a 215gl tank.
I previously had a 72gl bowfront which i had a Maroon Clown, Purple Tang, Six Line Wrasse, and Potters Angel. In that tank i prabably had 70lbs of live rock or so also.
Now, In the big tank i got i have moved my livestock from the 72 to the 215. I bought the 215 used and came with 200lbs of rock plus my 72lbs. So yesterday i bought a couple fish. I bough a Racoon Butterfly and a Emperor Angel ( Juvi ) . So what im asking opinions on is can i put anything else in or should i hold off. THe corals in the tank are a few mushrooms some zoos some ricordia and 2 rose bubble anenomes and i also have one fire shrimp.
Livestock:
Maroon Clown
Six Line Wrasse
Potters Angel
Purple Tang
Racoon Butterfly
Emperor Angel
Fire Shrimp
Here is what im thinking:
Naso Tang
Achillies Tang
Some kind of Puffer
or a Lion
Now i dont want all those fish prabably just one. Are these good ideas? or does anyone have any other ideas. I can always move the shrimp out to my firends tank.
Thanks for any ideas.

all that sounds fine just add it slowly (like 1 a week) and i believe you can have more fish than all those you listed... as for the puffer or lion just get something reef safe (i think a fuzzy dwarf lion is reef safe just not shrimp safe)

I would not buy anything for at least 2-3 months. You just set this tank up. You have not given it time to settle and adjust to your previous bioload and you have added more fish. Slow down. Do not rush. Your tank will thank you. BTW auto, I think you were referring to fuzzy dwarf lions, not fuzzy puffers.

This tank was up and running for approx. 10 months before i got it. It used to house a 40" eel and a blue spot grouper. I did not want either of these things and the previous owner was able to move them to another person. So I dont think the tank is that young, 200lbs of the rock has been in there for 10 months the other 70 or so lbs. was in my tank for over 2 years the only thing brand new is the sand. Its not like the filtering system has not seen any use before and i dont plan on buying all these things tommorrow just wanted some ideas. Im running a ecosystem sump rated for a 300 gal. tank and a coralife super skimmer for my filtration.
