Hey guys!
I'm just about to pick up a 150 gallon cube tank this weekend. The plan is to make it a reef tank, mostly LPS and softies. It's dimensions are 36x36x27. Anyway, this is my first large tank, so I would like some help with stocking.
I was thinking it would be interesting to have a reef tank with aggressive fish. Obviously, most of these fish tend to be large, messy eaters and will have an increased bioload, which is why I intend to stick with hardy corals and a good skimmer. Anyway, possible stock includes:
Volitans or dwarf lionfish
Triggerfish(Niger/humu humu?)
Large wrasses(banana, lunar)
Small tang(I know a 36" cube isn't ideal for an adult tang, but one of the smallere species should have ample swimming room if there is appropriate passageways between the liverock?)
Harlequin tusk
I'd love to have peoples opinions on whether those fish are a possibility in this size tank, and any personal experience on those fish would be welcome. This is just planning.
