I'm getting bad... need some help.....

Hey guys i have noticed that i am getting bad,

as some of you know i am upgrading to a 275 gallon tank (60x44x24) this will take place at the end of august as soon as the tank gets here from James at Envision Acrylics.

Anyway i thought i had my obession under control, i figured i wouldnt get anymore livestock until the upgrade, you know to see how many corals i need and see how the fish do.

well yesterday i picked up a nice 4" foxface Lo to see if it will take care of this STUPID grape caulpera thats taking over my 180. and i got a nice 3" granulosa a wild one too.

anyway if all this i headed down to a LFS today just for some simple mysis shrimp, brought the girlfreind along too...

well we get there and just am looking at things and i decided to pick up a small frag of zoos to see if my angel (blueface) would let me keep them and then i see these gorgeous 3" blue tangs, my girlfreind even said she would buy one, but i think i did the right thing and passed on them, haha,

BUT it got me thinking, what other fish should i add the the 275?

right now i have,

2 ocellaris clowns
1 labouti fairy wrasse
1 lineatus fairy wrasse
1 rhomboid fairy wrasse
1 orange back fairy wrasse
1 blueface angel
1 foxface lo

now all of these will go in the 275.

but what other fish should i go for? i was thinking of a small school of something, but anthias are out because the wrasses, maybe some of those long spinned cardinals like 5-7?

BUT what other fish should i go for? i was thinking a conspic angel and maybe a blue tang?

but that would be 5 large fish?

i am going to use a BK 300 internal to skim the tank, but what do you think?

what other fish spark your intrest?

what do you think would go well in the tank?

i know i would like to add atleast the conspic and a couple smaller fish.

but what do you think? its only 5 feet long, BUT its almost 4 feet deep too.

anyway what do you think?

give me some thoughts, my next tank upgrade will be 4 years and it will be an 8 footer and like 3 feet wide, (man thats bad i am thinking that far ahead)

anyway let me know what you think!

thanks guys!

Nick
