hey guys,
i currently have a 75 peaceful reef tank and its doing pretty well. i have a 180-gallon tank that's about to be finished cycling soon and I'm trying to figure out good stock options. i definitely want a lionfish at some point but i am not that knowledgeable on what species there is, or which one would be best for me. i also don't know what order i should stock the tank in. there is currently a one spot fox face rabbitfish that outgrew my 75 gallon so i thought i would move him over first. but other than that i don't know if i should wait awhile before i get the lion or if i would be okay to get him relatively early into the new tank, obviously while monitoring nutrients. i am also real interested in getting an eel, maybe snowflake? but im open for other suggestions. the only reason i say snowflake is because i don't really know any other great options. thats pretty much where i am to start. i might try to throw some coral in there but i have an idea what i cant have if i get angels too and thats alright.
i appreciate all the help. I've been looking and it seems like @lion king knows your fair share so i would really appreciate your input.
thanks.
