Hey everyone, I'm about to come across a 220g tank that I'm going to have to make into a FOWLER tank for the time being because of the fish coming with it. The current fish list is a Zebra Moray Eel, Clown Tang, Achilles Tang, and Golden Puffer. From the research I've done I may have to relocate the clown tang because they are killers but I'm curious as to what other additions you all might throw in the tank. I may be leaning more towards a predator tank. All suggestions welcome, thanks!
 
Im setting up my 225 too! If its a predator tank, lionfish are so cool. I had a dog faced puffer i always thought was like a dog, always happy to see me. But if your not prepared to file down their teeth, dont get a puffer

I friend of my brother is giving me the whole setup thus I'm taking these fish. The puffer is pretty amazing, I bought some calms on a half shell to feed him but the guy giving me the setup says he loves nori haha.
 
Puffer(s), goatfish, trigger(s), lion(s), regal tang, tesselata eel (similar or smaller in size compared to your zebra), some kind of hogfish, foxface/ rabbitfish, harlequin tusk, Lg angelfish (some limitations), scorpion /waspfish/ leaffish, cowfish... just to name a few [emoji6]
 
Currently stocking is golden puffer, red breasted wrasse, harlequin tusk, foxface, bluethroat tigger, flame hawkfish, and a zebra eel. I'm trying to think of some interesting fish that don't get too large. I don't like the idea of stuffing a fish that gets really big into their suggested minimum tank requirement. Also, everything so far is really docile so it wont be a predator tank. Any suggestions on what you might do or would like to see?
