Hi everyone! This is my first post here (not that anyone cares, I just thought it'd be cool to mention).
Anyways, I have a 180 gallon FOWLR tank. The residents include 1 dogface puffer (who is my CHILD, I literally nursed him back from near death from this horrible LFS, and he's the one who got me into saltwater. He's maybe 6 inches in length), 1 Vlamingi Tang (I know, I know, he gets too big. I have a home he WILL be going to when he gets around 15 inches. He's around 8 inches.),1 Falco Hawkfish (2 inches), and most recently, a STUNNING princess parrotfish (eating mysis, green algae sheets, and occasional sliversides!!:rollface: she's around 7-ish inches). I also have a couple of chromis, who no one bothers. My chromis actually are more aggressive than my dogface, haha. Anyways, my question to you guys is this: What fish do you think I should get next? I want something somewhat peaceful, but able to hold its own. Harlequin Tusk? Blueface Angel? I'm so undecided! What would you guys do?
Tank Specifics:
Nitrite:0ppm
Ammonia:0ppm
Phosphate:0.5ppm
Nitrate: forty (four key doesn't work)ppm (trying to get this lower, got a nice Bermuda skimmer earlier)
Ph: 7.8
120(?) lbs. of LR.
I'm running a very fancy Bermuda Protein skimmer, if that has anything to do with your ideas. It's in the process of being set up, so I'm going to have to wait a while for it to take my nitrates down.:sad2:
Not bad for a 15 year old, no?
Thanks!!:fun4:

go with the trig, triggers are always my first choice for a cool no hassle fish! My gold heart is mellow for a trigger but won't be pushed around by my pbt. You will have to watch in the beginning for aggression from the tang if the trigger is a lot smaller otherwise the trigger will be fine. Good luck
