fish in 60 hex

[iwantareef16]

can i put the same fish in a 60 gal hex as in a 55 gal. I was think of having some type of ram with some carindals and a cory with los of plants.

I see no issue with the fish you mentioned.

The only challenges with a hex tank I see vs. a traditional long tank is swimming space for larger fish. You also mentioned lots of plants, I believe the hex is taller and might require a little stronger lighting as a result.

I couldn't keep plants alive in my 27 hex, it was definitely an issue. Low light plants might do ok though.

The 60 gal hex will have less surface area for oxygen diffusion. It's something to keep in mind while stocking the tank. This type of tank has more limitations than others, due to the smaller footprint. Plan carefully and don't over do the bottom/mid dwellers--space will get cramped more quickly than a rectangular tank.

i planing on having 1 175 mh bulb over it

That should provide enough light for medium light plants.
