blue face angel
some sort of butterfly
crosshatch or blue jaw trigger (the ones with the rounder faces are pretty docile)
achilles and powder blue tang

Fish only...

you have to have angels, wrasses, butterflies, triggers, and tangs. Pick your favorites!

Harlequin tusk, Emperor angel, blue throat trigger, flame angel, blond naso , sail fin tang, copper band butterfly, gold head sleeper goby.
Anyway those are some I like.

Whatever fish you decide remember the more caves and rock formations the happier they will be, fish only tanks usually have problems with:

1. Overstocking
2. Overfeeding
3. Unnatural environment (most trade fish don't just swim in open water cover is very important to health)

It is sad when people see the giant "movie" fish tank and think that that works.

And add those "usually" more dominate fish last and smaller.

hay if you run live rock and fish only can u use standed fluro's or do i need ho lights in the main tank, i was hoping not to use ho lights or t5's in the tank to limit algie, and was just goung to use t5/ho over the sump, will this work

In fish only tank lights are basically for viewing pleasure, and coraline algae I suppose.

i will still have my other tank i just want a very active open tank

can i

naso tang fo sho!
