How Would You Stock A 150 Gallon Tank

[amstar15]

well I recently bought a 150 gallon tank. its 72" long, 18" wide and 28" tall (I think thats just off the top of my head, Im at work)

I wil have about 200-250 pounds of live rock as well as various, zoas, sps, lps corals in the tank.

I am looking for lots of movement in the tank.

I was thinking a few types of tangs... maybe a blue hippo, a nanso, and a sailfin? a few green chromis.. then after that I have no idea.

finally have a big enough tank just not sure what to stock with now.

Hehe, look into fairy wrasses and anthias/pseudoantias

flame, coral beauty, midnight angel, will be big enough to stock few different centropyge angels or alternatively regal angels.

yellow tail purple tang, group of yellows could be done in that size tank, nasos grow massive so be wary of that.

skis mentioned his love affair wrasses a trio of carpenter flashers would look wicked.

theres many options, can get alot of nice little small dottybacks, wrasses, hawkfish are nice.

I love the look of the various angel fish however with all of the corals I have and wanting to get into sps I cant risk them taking a liking to the corals and nipping/eating them.

maybe if i didnt get sps I guess

how many tangs would you put in a 150?? I was thinking a achillies tang, a powder brown and naso get them all as small as I can.

a trio of fairy wrasses sounds pretty cool as well.

So I was thinking some green chromis (5)
3 tangs
maybe some wrasses

maybe a fox-face or a copperband butterfly... or with no sps a coral beauty
