thinking of this for the near future..

[Skimmerking]

well i was thinking of doing a FOWLR
and this is my problem i saw on another board tha a guy was selling clown trigger and a queen angel and i started to think.... again YES I Was

thinking
yes i could cut down the 280 gal tank and make a small tank say like 72x30x20 and have
say
1x hippo tang
1x powder brown
blue face angel
queen angel
clown trigger
fox face
KORAN ANGEL

do you think that is too much
in that tank
lighting will be 1 x 660
1x72 "white and 1x 72" actinic
and 1x glo-mat with 2x 40w actinic phillips
with a euro reef skimmer say a cs-8
and a 3md for a return or a mak-4 for a return
and 150 lbs of fiji rock
and no sand bed 1-2 " CC
what do you think of that.
the over flows will be 1" returns along with a center 2" over flow with 1.5 " bulk head

any comments please send it out no sugar coating on this.

The only things I could say is, would the tangs be ok with the aqqressive fish. And is all that LR nessasary for a fish only tank? I would with half the rock for more swimming area, and get a cannister filter. JMO.

1x powder brown
blue face angel
queen angel
clown trigger

Hmm....will the queen and clown get along?From what I remember both require alot of space.If it was me,I'd leave out the 2 most aggressive(queen and clown)The rest should be ok(maybe someone with more exsperience with these fish can comment?)

Are you putting the cart before the horse Mike . The way I read it is that you as yet have no tank, but you are worrying about what to put into this imaginary tank. . OK I don't get it . Time to open a bottlle.

[Skimmerking]

BOB are you smoking dope or what . is there somthing that you dont get..
I'm curious on what to put into a tank when i start one up. I'm getting some feed back from the others here. On this tank that i'm going to be starting up it is that ok.
