Lowman Posted February 17, 2010 Share Posted February 17, 2010 I have been considering many different options on how to stock my new tank. I have thought about doing all seahorses and pipefish, and the one I am really considering is an all aggressive fish reef tank, with triggers, anglers, eels, and maybe a rhinopias or two. Or there is always the old stand by. My tank is an Oceanic Tech Series 120 it will have a ton of flow and I have a large skimmer, so what would you folks do???

twogirls Posted February 17, 2010 Share Posted February 17, 2010 Anglers are just so great. I would go that route were it me:D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andy Posted February 17, 2010 Share Posted February 17, 2010 Tough question. Personally, I think a 120 is too big a tank for anglers... they'd just get lost in all that space. Seahorses, too. Though a big planted tank, nicely terraced would be sweet. It'd probably be a maintenance nightmare though. I'd maybe go with a small group of Heniochus, a group of anthias and maybe one or two showcase species like a Picasso Trigger or Emperor Angel. No big predators like eels, I'm pretty sure I'd get tired of feeding it. Sounds like a fun project. Sometimes I think the fish-only guys are the really smart ones Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ClayTheSavageFraser Posted February 17, 2010 Share Posted February 17, 2010 I went with lionfish, a cool orang toadfish, rabbitfish, and a pearlscale butterfly! They are awesome!! Need more live rock for sure though!!! Clay Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lowman Posted February 17, 2010 Author Share Posted February 17, 2010 it definately will be a mixed reef, and I really am leaning toward a wart skin angler and a pair of blue throat triggers. A tang and a couple other fish would be cool too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
newfisher Posted February 18, 2010 Share Posted February 18, 2010 Why not one tank of each? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tigerv503 Posted February 19, 2010 Share Posted February 19, 2010 On a 120gal i go with dwarf angels, some small tangs, and small colorful wrasses. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael7979 Posted February 22, 2010 Share Posted February 22, 2010 I personally would over load it with small peaceful fishes. Anthias, gobies, firefish, and such with 1 maybe 2 tangs. My Emperor Angel and Clown Tang are getting large and fiesty. Which is disturbing the peace! I need to get them their own tank, SOON!!!!!

7Max-GTE Posted February 28, 2010 Share Posted February 28, 2010 You never get tired of feeding large predator fish....My eel used to eat 8" oscars regularly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Emerald525 Posted February 28, 2010 Share Posted February 28, 2010 Good thread. I am also in the process of starting a FOWLR tank and am thinking about what fish to get. I thought about getting a lionfish because they are so cool but they are also so big. Also thinking about a purple tang. I would like an eel but hear they are kind of a pain and they can get out. The tank is a 150 gallon glass and will have lots of live rock. Any thoughts? We are definitely going to get a Picasso Trigger. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
