Anyone here keeping fish only tanks? List your tank specs and fish list.

I just upgraded my 90gal fowlr to a 120gal. Right now the only fish are a 5" blue face angel and a 7' lunare wrasse. I'll probably add a few more fish. I might add a trigger. I used to have a pink tail trigger but unfortunately a large piece of live rock fell on him while he was digging. It was a very cool fish.

yes. i have a 210 fowlr. i have 3 yellow tangs, 2 sailfin tangs, 1 purple tang, 1 hippo tang, 1 pearlscale butterfly, one v-tail grouper, one foxface, one emperoer angel, one baby blue line trigger and a harlequin tusk. It has built in overflows that go to a large wet dry that trickles through live rock with the sump end having some cheato algae, a bag of carbon and a 65 coralife protien skimmer. I also, just for some additional filtration have an aquaclear 500 hang on filter. The tank is a tad overstocked but all the fish get along but i do batttle microalgae blooms but i think the biggest reason for that is i us tap water in that tank.

i also have a 125 with a clown trigger, a picasso trigger, a sohal tang, a powderblue tang, a blue spotted grouper, a lunar wrasse and a porcupine puffer. i am currently setting up another 125 to seperate some of these fish. on this tank again i have dual builtin overflows that go to a 55 gallon tank sump-refugium has lots of live rock in two compartments. in one of those compartment i have a firefish living and another compartment i have a damsel and wrasse living both have snails and crabs in there. skimmer for this is a cpr bak pak. for additional filtration i have an internal cascade filter. most of the fish in this system are 5 inches and there is a little bit of fighting at feeding time only.
my reef is a 54 gal. corner tank that totally makes my family room.

Sounds like you have some nice tanks triggerhappy. Any pics of your fish and setups?
I love large fish tanks with large fish. I'm planning a 300gal+ tank once I move. I can't wait.

Forgot a few things...It's an oceanic rr dual overflow. I have a 30gal sump with 2 media towers, 1 with bioballs and the other with live rock rubble. I'm also using a 2 little fishes reactor for carbon. Right now I have about 30lbs of live rock in the display. I'll probably add about 50lbs more when I get a chance.
