180 fish list - ok?

Thoughts on this list for a 180 mixed reef with heavy filtration.


Hippo tang
Clown tang
Powder Blue tang
Achilles tang
Copper band butterfly
2 Percula clowns
4-7 green chromis
1 fairy wrasse or flame angel

Thanks!

I would size/load wise okay, just make sure you know what you're getting into with the Clown (aggression level), Achilles (survivablility record), Powder and Hippo (Ich magents), and the CBB (track record/getting one to eat).

All those tangs will get pretty big, like at least a foot or so. The tank is big enough for swimming space but may be a little too small to keep all those tangs at peace with each other.

I know - why do I always have expensive/tough taste! I'll think on this more - it's tough to enjoy a tank if you're always battling something fish wise.

Glad to hear the bioload is ok, maybe I'll just swap a few =(

I think you have room bio-load wise, but these fish ---

Clown tang
Powder Blue tang
Achilles tang
Copper band butterfly

all have bad survival records in captivity.

i wouldnt do the PBT or achilles or clown. If you do you have to get an awesome specimen to begin with and QT them, because they all have horrible track records for ich. I am a tang fanatic and I stay away from all of these.
