    My first 180gal sw live coral tank...Now to choose some fish...

    Feeling more at ease now. The sailfin I am looking at is a Zebrasoma desjardini...so Matt not sure if that's the ( Atlantic or the "Gilligan" ) but it does look beautiful. I really need to stop looking at fish...I just came across the Striped Surgeon and oh gosh that looks fantastic too. So...

    Would any1 recommend a sailfin tang? I hear they are a little aggressive but again am new to the hobby so a little more assurance never comes astray...I guess I'm not putting too much trust in the person whom I am purchasing these off as sometimes I feel sales people are there to only make a...

    Thank you so very much on the info. So I should put the tangs in together to lesson the territorial aggression between each other. I'm still guessing it is ok to put these together though? Last thing I would want is to put 2 fish in the tank and have 1 die just because I like the look of the 2...

    Ok, 1 fish per moth at a time. And as for the triggers, I luv them but am fearful of the tank...I have pegged some of the coral to the live rock but I still am not sure about the triggers...they are such a stunning fish though.

    Thank you for the suggestions. I did have a look at the bangaai cardinals and I'm not 100% sold on them yet I do think a school of something would really look great in this tank. I've been querying the Niger trigger, Crosshatch Trigger or the Bluechin Trigger as I was always under the assumption...

    Thank you. I have 80kg of live rock and a few different corals yet there is ample room for swimming. Wanted to know if the compatibility of these fish is ok without any aggression and what others would suit...ie maybe a school of something...suggestions would be appreciated.

    Just wondering since I am new to the sw hobbie, if you could give me a few ideas on what sort of fish I can put in my 180gal sw tank. I made the choice to go for a live coral tank even though I loved a few of the "not coral friendly" fish species. After doing some research I have made a few...

    Best protein skimmer on the market????

    The Red Sea C-Skim 1800 Deluxe also looks great and well priced. The Deltec I was looking at comes in at over double the $$$ that these. Never thought choosing a skimmer would be so hard :s

    Just had a look at the ASM G-4XX. Cheaper than the others I have been researching that's for sure. As i obviously have no exp with these, do they run fairly quiet?
