180 fish wanted

[clayspst]

im upgrading to a 180 and want to keep an orange shoulder, PBT and a NASO. Does anyone see any problems with this and any recommandations/Experiences?

I wouldn't recommend either the orange shoulder or the Naso for the 180 gallon tank, and certainly not both of them.

If by "PBT" you mean powder blue (and not powder brown), be aware that they are difficult to keep and can be aggressive towards other tangs.

I think you need to consider a different variety of fish.

Why? No on those tangs?

Yes i mean Powder Blue,

I agree, 180 is too small for these fish.

The orange shoulder and various Naso species are very large fish. A 180 doesn't provide the recommended swimming space for these fish.
