    I'm thinking, instead of going large, I am tempted to go with numerous smaller fish, such as several yellow stripped cardinals, bar gobies and anthias. I think it would give th reef a more natural feel and look with several shoals moving in and out of structure.

    What are you thoughts or suggestions on fish that may achieve this effect?

    It'd be interesting to see. I can't imagine too much shoaling in that size of a tank.

    Anthias, cardinals, and chromis come to mind. Maybe 50 clown gobies? Some cleaner gobies (not wrasses) would be cool too.

    Not necessarily looking for shoaling, probably a bad choice of word. I guess movement would be a better choice of word.

    Please clarify which 120 gallon this is, new tank, you already updated sig, or you have yet to add to 120 gallons to sig?

    This is the 120 that I have had for a little while now, the one I transferred from the 55 7-8 weeks ago.

    Nope. Would need to get rid of that one first.

    but now the thought of a good size school of anthias, or chromis weaving in and out of structure sounds very enticing.:D

    Get an auto feeder device if you go with Anthias. Love Anthias, would add them in a hot second if I had a larger tank.
