180 Fish only

[Asl4all]

I've set up a 180G. Currently just started cycling today. My wife is wanting a fish only since I have another reef setup going 2 years. Now back to the 180G fish only, I'm wondering if there are any softies, LPS, or SPS that can be safe in a fish-only setup? My wife wants mostly angels, triggers, and no predators as she can't stand them. I personally know it's impossible but your replies will help me show the wife it can or can't be done. Maybe I'll learn something.

LOL ... sounds like you are trying to reverse-engineer a solution!

Go check out Fishbase and look up each fish you are thinking about and it will tell you what it eats.

Apache2 Debian Default Page: It works

You could do wrasse also, just a thought lol a little wrasse biased though! Tangs are cool too! I would consider a puffer, relatively friendly and full of flavor!

Anyway, You could probably do most leather corals and be okay. I know angels are more apt to sps from my experience but really depends on the type of angel and that specific fish too lol! Macro algae is super cool IMO also just a thought. I’d be careful with some soft corals and LPS.

In my tank, my coral beauty ate the small hammer (small polyps), $30 snack. The large polyp hammer hes leaving alone. Ignores the rest, also my friggin sailfin prefers shrimp to seaweed. He'll eat it if there's nothing else.
