I have a 180 gallon tank with 180lbs of Rock and Sand
Sump with sock filter and Coral Life 250 Skimmer

Tank has been running 7 months...(currently have 3 inch Harlequin Tusk and 3 inch coral beauty)
FOWLR

Stock Wish List
#1
Coral Beatuy Angel
Harlequin Tusk Wrasse
Blue Face Angel
Tang 1 of the following (Blonde Naso, Blue Hippo, Powder Blue or Brown)
Trigger (Niger or Huma Huma)

#2
Coral Beatuy Angel
Harlequin Tusk Wrasse
Porky Puffer
Tang (one from the above group)
Trigger (one of the two above)

#3
Harlequin Tusk Wrasse
Porky Puffer
Tang (one from above list)
Trigger (one of the above two)

Will any of these or all of them work? Which will be the most fun to watch?

If I upgrade my skimmer what would you go with?

Thanks!

Yeah your third list will work.

Your queen may be pushing it in 4-5 years but should be quite comforable for a few years.

Sounds good. Definitely get the pork, and you are going to want a tang. So I like #2

what do you think of a queen angel? I really like them and my LFS has a junv about 2.5 inches

I would go with list number one or your last one #4 and go with a tang instead of the puffer. Puffers a kewl but mine got punked by my queen angel so I had to move her to my other tank for awhile. My queen loves to eat and she likes to be the center of attention also.

I like list 2 and even add your Queen Angel, you would have room IMO....I like Powder Blue of your tangs, love either of your Triggers, love the Tusk and Puffer, have you considered Flame Angel instead of Coral Beauty, both are great, its tough to beat the colors a Flame Angel adds to a tank.
