Khij159753 said:Got one in the bedroom yet? Love it being the first sight in the morning and at night! Bedroom for medium, livingroom for huge, and a few nanos for different rooms. Maybe 2 in the living room. Let's not forget about the reductive hahaha.
And yeah if you post your list we can probably tear it apart and spit some options your way
Beengirl said:Don't have one in the bedroom!! He's actually mentioned that once before, problem is space. Would have to get rid of the chair that I like. other problem is I sleep during day a lot of the time, so tank would have to be dark during day. Afraid that would totally mess up their circadian rhythm bad enough mines all messed up from working nights, don't need to ruin the fish's too!!! Lol. I already put the 30g in my daughters room, so I've been letting her pick the fish(she's 12). She researches what will fit in a 30g on LA, then makes a list and we go to the store. We ordered a yellow citrus clown goby from the store, not sure when its coming in.

2 naso tang
3 Picasso trigger
4 dwarf lion fish
5 red orange angler or orange banded sting fish
6 Papuan Toby puffer
7 blue spotted puffer
8 glass eye squirrel fish
9 blonde naso tang
I can go on and on. I have to find a bigger tank. I'm gonna budget myself at 2500 to 3000 grand for tank, stand, canopy, filtration, wave makers, and lighting, live rock and live sand. This is my wish list. Some fish may need bigger tank. In Connecticut there is a store called house of fins-- high end place. I may have them set it up and train me so I can maintain it perfectly or almost perfect.
Khij159753 said:Instead if a squirel fish maybe a soldier fish?
Khij159753 said:Really? Hmmm only reason I suggested is my LFS has a flounder and lionfish and soldier fish and huge tomato clown and trigger and a couple puffers all in 1 tank.

For a predator tank, the one thing you need to worry about is mouth sizes. You don't want to have any fish that could fit into another fishes mouth. For a 180, I would cut the naso's and go with a larger lion. Blonde Naso's are known to get ich, very easily. Maybe go with an antenneta or maybe a Russell lion. I would also choose one trigger and stick with that guy. They are super territorial and aggressive and will literally tear each other apart. I would get rid of one of the puffer as well and maybe go with a fox face and a wrasse or one or the other. Having a bit of color from maybe a banana wrasse will brighten up the tank. Also if you are up for it (as they are a pain in the rear) have you thought of a snowflake or maybe a zebra eel. They make great additions and are awesome to look at IMO. Hope I didn't come off too strong, just trying to give you some ideas.
mike406 said:Ur input is super welcomed. I will look at the fish u mentioned shortly. I live in new York I'm not sure if u thought I was on the west coast. Lol. Just a night freak.
Jmkb02 said:Oh the reason eels are a pain is due to the fact that they are great escape artist so you will need a tight lid that they cannot get through.
