Hello all,

I have a 700 gallon custom tank that is 11 feet long, 40" high and 42" deep. The tank has cycled and I currently have three yellow tangs, three blue hippo tangs, three small clowns, 9 yellowtail damsels, one porkfish, and a flame angel. The tank has a NY building skyline.

I am ready to start adding more fish and I would love some suggestions. I lived in Hawaii for a bit and currently live in Florida. I am a scuba diver and love to dive in Maui where I used to live and loved the butteflies, triggers, angels. I would prefer going with mostly Hawaiian fish. What would you recommend? Also what clean up crew would you recommend?

Attached are a couple pictures.

Unicorn Tang or Valamingii Tang! Great large additions for a tank like that.

If you can afford it, A pair of Crosshatch Triggers
A hawiian black Trigger!

A trio or harem of pyramid butterflies!

An Emporer Angel!
 
Also if you can, Make a build thread! I (and probably others to) would love to see more pics and specs and watch the progession of this tank!
 
There are several wrasses that would work out good in this tank.

A few thoughts
Green Bird nose
Naso Tang
Larger angels

Are you planning to keep just fish or are you planning to keep inverts like snails, shrimp, and crabs? What type of filtration are you running?
 
I would do a combination of the following: Blonde Naso Tang, Powder Blue Tang, Shoal of Lyetail Anthais or Square Back Anthias, Picasso Trigger, Emperor Angel and a school of chromis.

That trigger will have a lot of dinner when he gets bigger. He is my favorite but I watched him eat my damsels 2 times his size, then moved on to my emperor angel about 5 times his size.
