New Reef Tank, what fish?

I am getting a new reef tank, probably 150-180, and I am wondering what kind of fish i should accompany with it. Any suggestions would be a help

Happy Thanksgiving

David

depends on what you have in mind for your master plan. You have many many options with a tank that size. I'd pick one or two larger fish like Acanthurid tangs and then plan a community of smaller ones from there. Think of swimmers, rock hoppers, bottom dwellers, etc.

A shoal of anthias and blue chromis always look good together. 6-8 of each I think. I've got 5 of each in my 120, they may be my favorite fish. Then add a couple tangs to add different colors like a powder blue and a yello, a pair of clowns, a longnose hawk, algae blenny and a goby. That would be a sweet list IMO
