I need an out of the box think mind here..so i came to MONSTER thinkers as the other website i posted this question on they either don't read the post well enough or cant think outside the box..

please recommend a tank size for the following list of fish...this tank will be a FOWLR tank...live rock will be 2 to 3 times the normal recommended amount per gallon and i want lots of open swimming space as well so please keep that in mind also allow some room for future fish additions if i decide to add to the list.

fish list(all fish on the list) will be in this tank

A couple of schools of undetermined "dither fish"( 2 or 3 different types)

Drawf angels
flame
coral beauty
bi color
key hole
multi color
1/2 black

Large angels
emperor
queen
annularis
maculosus
majestic
scribble

Butterfly's
raccoon
auriga (thread fin)
saddleback
school of 3 to 5 heniochus (black/white)
school of 3 to 5 moorish idols(?)


Wrasses
harlequin tusk (australian)
lyretail
pink face
harlequin tusk (indo pacific)

Fox face
magnificent

Tangs
purple
black
yellow
powder blue
hippo
yellow belly hippo
sail fin
convict
white cheek
powder brown
Atlantic blue
unicorn
valentien (pair)(??)
naso (pair) (??)
blonde naso (pair) (??)

I will be using my current tanks as grow out tanks
200g (7 ft)
210g (6 ft)
175g bow (6ft)
75g (4 ft)
55 G (4 ft)

I know there are territorial issues with this list that is one reason for the large amount of live rock (normal rock, slabs, and branch)..and the grow out tanks can also be used to keep an failure to conform to the community fish(s)

Please think outside the normal tank sizes..any comments will be welcome
Thank you

Certainly be more ideal if one can afford it---

Most people just can not afford to setup a 1000+gal reef tank.....
 
I dont know that i can aford it but iam going to do it...i could not afford to go to college when i did..i could not afford to get married..divorced..and married again when i did but i did it..i could not afford to have kids when i did but i did it...i could not afford to retire when i did (medicla reasons) but i did...i could not afford to do many things that i have done in my life but i have always managed to do it and do it the right way(except for the 1st marriage since it ended in a divorce..lol)..the saving grace is it wont be a reef its going to be a FOWLR tank
