Do something easy. I think anthias are going to be a big step up from nothing. Start small and then in a couple months get them.

It's 3' tall? Cubes have 3 sides the same length... what am I missing?

whats lots of flow? some peopel think 1000gph is lots of flow. give more info on tank

1200gph from return and 2 6000 tunzes so that is about a 50 to 55x turn over rate in the tank trunst me thins are a turnin

3=2=2 do some people just not know how to read dimentions
3 feet long 2 feet wide 2 feet deep

He was just being technical. Your tank's not a perfect cube.

Neither are most of the tanks being called cubes.

I'd stay away from the anthias until you're sure the tank is stable. Its borderline size for having more than 1, and they need to be fed often, and are finicky. Go with an easy, peaceful fish first. What are you thinking about having in the tank?

 

[sm fragman]

thinking of having a couple of anthias maybe 1 bangi cardnal,1 6 line rasse and after about 4 or 5 months after everything is stable i will then add a brown or powder blue tang ,,had both of these fish in the past and loved then bothe ,,
