Not for a long time. Its still only a 6 foot tank. All those fish listed except lionfish and eel are open swimmers. Blue tang and emp really need an 8 foot tank onve they hit a foot ot so.

i would of thought a 6ft 180 G would be enough for a blue tang ?
how do you think a dwarf angel would go with the eel ?

Snowflake eels grow very slow. Get one smaller and enjoy him. Depends on which dwarf angel you want. some stay tiny some get around 5 to 7 inches

Lions are friendly fish. They use their venom for defense. When fish get impaled by a lion, it's usually an accident.
The length of your tank is fine for a tang.
You can see 3 tangs in this 180. They all get along. Were all adults or close. Been together something like 3 years.

Get a QT tank up and running before you buy fish! You'll kick yourself if you don't QT your fish.

yehp will get a QT tank, have a spare 40 and 55 G tank so i will use one of them , wasnt sure about what filtration to use , maybe a small amount of live rock and a cannister filter ?
today i found a fish shop that had a live rock special were they were selling the LR for $8 per kilo(2.2 pounds).This is a very good deal in australia as the next best that i have ever seen is $14 per kilo.The problem is i dont yet have a protein skimmer or any powerheads.I have the 180 G tank but It dosent yet have a stand or hood which is being custom made so the live rock cant go in their at the moment.
i have a number of empty smaller tanks, can i buy some live rock and just keep it in these tanks ? what equipment do i need to do this and will moving the LR to the larger tank cause any problems ?
thanks for all the help

Yes.
I would ditch the snowflake. They get big and my husband has scars to show they get mean. We couldn't get rid of him.... not even for free. No one, not even the LFSs in the area would take him. He died in a GFCI accident. He was too old to have gone out that way.
That angel is too big for a 180 IMO.

a question about the lion fish , what are the chances that it could kill the other fish with its venom ?
a more likely senario is the others (especially any angels) kill the lion

even with its venomous spikes ? by the way i am not going to get the large angelfish , just one of the dwarf angels
perhaps i have the wrong idea about a lionfish, i am thinking that all that needs to happen is for a lionfish to somehow touch another fish with its large spikes and it could kill it .Is this not the case ?
