show fish for 170 gallon cube???

[sabodish]

well..since i downgraded from a 360 to a 170 (3x3x30) cube, i am having a heck of a time deciding on a show fish. i have been accustomed to just buying whatever fish i want for the 360 and now i dont have that luxury anymore.

my plan coral wise is a slightly mixed reef with about 75% sps. so far i have a pair of percs, but would like a large angel. i just dont know if the 3' length is conducive for anything...im even hesitant about adding any type of tang. i am planning on adding a harem of lyretail anthias (3 female, i male).

so.......whats a good show fish for this tank???
thanks

A regal angel would be nice.

yeah, ive been trying to get my LFS to order me one for about a month now..no luck. ive wanted that fish for yeeeaars..im just concerned about the lack of horizontal swimming length.

If you can get a healthy red sea specimen and its not harrased by any aggressive tank mates it should be fine imo.
