My husband and I often talk about, "in our perfect world we would do blah blah blah" You get the picture... I'm sure some of you have said that before. I want to know in your perfect tank, what are you adding?

Answer this question with the assumption that money is no issue, you have unlimited knowledge on what you're adding, your tank conditions are complete perfection, and whatever you are adding is going to be a perfect angel (no nipping, no bullying, no hiding). But, you can only add 5 things... What are you adding?

Actually let’s replace the last fish with a bag full of gold. I feel like a big bag of gold would really bring the whole tank together.

@i cant think whats your 5?

Might have some metal leaching, which could pose problems.

Better I think would be an entire substrate of pearls. And better ocean-themed!

True. I guess I’d have to take out the big bag of gold and sell it. Darn! What a shame.

I’ve got one of my 5 today!!

I’ll get my list out when he goes in (hint; I’ve been after it for a while and it’s closely related to my Edwardi).

Thought it would be neat to add a couple of these to but I have trust issues.

Here's my Emperor Angel AKA El Heffe (the boss) - he's amazing. The crazy thing is besides being bossy with his tank mates (2 yellow tangs, fairy wrasse, 2 clown fish, diamond goby and a mandarin goby) - be barks! Like a very audible deep bass sound that can be heard thoughout our house when he get's in a ***** mood. Amazing fish and semi reef safe (he will eat some softies (zoa's inparticular) and occasionally will nip at torches if hungry).

Number 4 is… almost any of the NPS gorgs.

And number 5 is another wrasse but it’s tied between;
Paracheilinus piscilineatus and Anampses chrysocephalus.
