    So I am getting a new 180 to replace my 60 cube. Right now the only fish in the 60 is a toby puffer and a snowflake eel which will move to the new tank when cycled and ready. Few Gigantic hermits and turbos too. Had two nice lions but had a fierce ich outbreak plus fungal infection that took them both out. :(

    so here is what I am looking at when ready to add stock

    Magnificent Foxface (Siganus magnificus)
    Purple Tang (Zebrasoma xanthurum)
    Harlequin Tusk (Choerodon fasciatus)
    Emperor Angelfish (Pomacanthus imperator)

    Any other suggestions that might look good with this mix? I'm not planning on going coral crazy just maybe some zoas, pally, shroom etc just for color and diversity. So I'm looking at "reef safe" or "with caution"




    Thanks

    Bill

    Your live stock as in fish wise looks ok, but you won't have the giant hermits for long with a tusk

    Well they were like bulldozers in my reef and worse in the seahorse tank. They are on borrowed time anyway. Will probably toss them in the fuge

    Now that I have the space too I was thinking of a nice carpet nem. Wondering though if I can add a clown to this mix?

    I'm trying to go a little different with this tank. My 110 has these so they are not on the consideration list

    4 Different wrasses (might consider a different one I really like wrasses :)
    Flame Angel
    Blue Hippo
    White Ribbon eel
    Yellow Tang
    Coral Beauty
    2 Diamond Gobbies
    Filefish
    Foxface Lo
    Lawnmower Blenny

    Based on my experience your zoas won't last long with the emperor. SPS would be fine.
