Stocking 225 G Tank - Tang & Others

[Multiham]

Going for my dream tank. Looking at 200+ gallons. Always wanted to have a blue hippo tang but my largest tank to date is 28 Gallons. Knowing that the Blue Hippo Tang is a must, what other fish would you consider stocking in the tank?

Appreciate the help and suggestions!

Will you have coral and crabs/shrimp/snails?

You could a couple more tangs, plus a couple of angels, plus a clown and anthias.

anthais and cardinalfish for schools of them. Wrasse are good too for active swimmers.
Large Angelfish and tangs are great in smaller numbers (because of bioload), what are the dimensions of this tank?

^^^ he wont be able to put large angels with coral. He may be able to get away with small angels that might not do any harm, may nip a bit...........flame, cherub or coral beauty. He has a wide variety of tangs he can put - powder brown or blue, hippo, sailfin, kole. The wrasses are cool and even some cardinals as quoted above

Genicanthus are fully reef safe, some others will nip at corals but might not destroy them.
I don't think that there is a larger chance large angelfish will nip at corals than smaller ones.
