Hmm, that amount of water might be a bit small for 2 acanthurus tangs and a Nano that would need at least 300 gallons or more in just a couple years. Just FYI... not that you will take advice anyway.

Nice looking fish!

I have looked at them before but they never seem to have the fish I want.

No matter what online site you go to. They never have exactly what you want. Live aquaria might be out of 1 thing vivid might have. And petco has some stuff that is way out of there level that the big boys don't ever have

I would caution you to be very cautious with the two PBT in the 180g, I use to have two purple tangs and two PBT in my old 180. Everyone was great for 6 months then the PBT started fighting which lead to ich which eventually killed the PBT. This was 9 yrs ago but the point is still there. I think you would have no problems with all of the tangs you purchased being put in the 180g, the question is for how long

^That. Buy fish for the tank you have, not the tank you plan for.

If it turns into an issue I will take one to LFS.

When will people just start telling everyone to just leave them in the ocean ...
Those tangs will be fine in a 180 for awhile ..

Unlike most who plan to have bigger tanks then can't afford/want to upgrade later. I have 7 tanks in my house. I have a 150 in my basement with nothing in it. I could set up and keep a fish in that is being a butt. If any fish turns into a problem my LFS is great about giving me store credit for fish I take in.

I love how many on here act like they don't keep animals in cages for there own personal enjoyment. To be honest the perfect tank size is the ocean. I have seen more fish than I have kept in a 90 gal for years.

It will work till it doesn't any more then adjustments will be made.

Your logic is weak...
