Sweeet tank!! Please do QT all new fish to prevent disease from getting in it.
The fish list looks fine but I would prefer to have move of the schooling type fish in such a large tank- anthias, chromis, or some other small schooler.

Yeah I think a giant school of chromis would be really cool looking in a tank that size.

you have 4 of the same threads going...

if i had a 450g tank i would have alot of tangs, and maybe a stingray. i personally dont like small fish. with such a big tank is it going to be an awesome reef, or the rare and amazing fish that require big tanks?
