Stocking a 110-gallon tall

[goldenboy]

I have a 110-gallon tall being delivered Saturday that has everything included, even live rock and a few corals. I plan to keep LPS corals at first and then graduate to SPS a little later on once I get everything settled and become comfortable with the maintenance.

A tank this large is new to me, so I wanted to get some advice on fish to stock and stocking levels. I like the fact its sort of an "open canvas," but at the same time I want to be sure I do it properly.

thanks in advance

Tons of possibilities... my previous tank was that same size. What kind of fish do you like?

 

[goldenboy]

Best case scenario would be to have a nice mix of color and activity. I would also like to have some fish that could also serve as a benefit to the tank.

Since I've never had a tank this size, I don't really know what direction to go. I've just begun researching what species are compatible and what types of fish are safe to keep with coral.

I know.....not all that much to go on.
