*Algae blenny

*3 cardinals

*pair of clowns

School of 5-10 chromis and a mandarin dragonet.

I'd say a hawkfish is a must, but that's just me. Flame for it's red color. Tangs, You could do a purple, very beautiful. Would likely not bother the orange shoulder in a 180. Check out Tomini tangs as well. Very attractive coloration, very peaceful IME.

personally, Cardinals are boring. They look good, but don't seem to do much. Low on the personality scale IMO. Anthias perhaps? do well in groups, bright colors, more active. Have to worry about hardiness w/ them however.

Just some thoughts.

Good luck w/ the 180 (i'm a little biased) :thumbsup:
