Reef fish in 6ft

[kstuart]

I want to start a 6ft long (125g) tank and was wonder what a good grouping of fish would be for it. I need reef safe fish as i want this mainly a reef tank with fish. I like tangs, copper banded butterflys, flame angels but don't know how that will work. What are some fish i should look into and research that are good with reefs

I think a tang or two if introduced at the same time would be great in a 6ft long tank. I think most pygmy angels are known to nip at corals but my coral beauty has been a model citizen. You can also look at some of the tanks of the month and see what stocking list they have. That could give you some ideas.

2 tangs, a CBB, and a Flame? Sounds alright. The Flame will be the question mark. It will be fine with the other fish, but there is a chance of it going after your corals. Most angels aren't completely reefsafe. Lamarck's Angels are the safest of the angels.

2 tangs may not get along with each other depending on the species and when they are introduced to the tank. Copper bands are notoriously difficult to keep. It's hit or miss with whether or not one will survive in your tank.
