Some nice large angels would be awesome... emperor angel, queen angel, french or grey angel. Achilles, pair of naso's group of purple tangs. A Australian tusk. Man the odds are endless if they all get along. Good luck!

Two of the best fish I ever had were a Queen Trigger and Spiny Puffer. They had awesome personalities and were super cool to look at.

If I had a tank that big I would buy every tang I could get my hands on (I really like tangs). I would get peaceful fish so that you can also have the option of putting in little fish because they can be cool, even in a large tank. (I love going into public aquariums and seeing little wrasses and clowns in the 100,000+ gallon tanks, it is just more natural.) If it were me I would shy away from large predatory fish (like lionfish) for that reason.

i was in my lfs a month or so ago and they have a beautiful display tank filled with anthias and chromis. it is an awesome looking tank. the oranges of the anthias mixed in with the blues and greens of the chromis make for a great visual effect. i like the idea of schooling fish in a tank large enough to let them really do it.

I would recommend a school of butterfly fish.
It is common to see them on real reefs and would be awesome in a tank that size. raccoon, heniochus, auriga a few of each also agree with a school of anthias, a school of chromis, and a few tangs.

Vlamingi Tang and Emporer Angel, they are the coolest fish in my tanks. I also like my schools of Blue Chomis and orange Dispar Ahthias. I would eliminate fish that tend to kill each other, they ruin that old community feeling, unless you live in Detroit.
