I wanted to start this thread to get ideas for my upgrade. Eventually I will need to upgrade my 75G eventually so i wanted to get the plain into place. Just wanted to post here to see what kind of brainstorming we can come up with. I am thinking something in the 125G range. Maybe a cube? Not a high but long and wide? or a reg cube? or reg standard 125G? If i go standard 125G then i might be better off going with a 150G since the length is the same but a bit wider. Also what is your take on bare bottom. I am intrigued to do that this time around. What are the pro's and con's? The fish that will be put int he tank are:

1 Yellow Anthias (Holanthias fuscipennis)
1 Orange margin Butterfly (Prognathodes basabei)
2 Chain Catsharks (Scyliorhinus retifer)
1 Bandit Angel (Apolemichthys arcuatus)

My plain down the line after this tank is up for these fish is to:

1. Get 2-3 more Yellow Anthias (Holanthias fuscipennis)

2. Once the sharks get bigger. Set up my 500G and put all 5 sharks together. Or maybe the 400G not to sure yet.

3. try to get one to 2 more deep water fish spices from HWI for my tank.

Just wanted to post here to see what kind of brainstorming we can come up with. I am thinking something in the 125G range. Maybe a cube? Not a high but long and wide? or a reg cube? or reg standard 125G? the best is a regular tank with more length then width so the fish can have more room to swim. If i go standard 125G then i might be better off going with a 150G since the length is the same but a bit wider. Also what is your take on bare bottom. bare bottoms are okay but don't really work good for a display I use them more for coral frag tanks. I am intrigued to do that this time around. What are the pro's and con's? The fish that will be put int he tank are:

1 Yellow Anthias (Holanthias fuscipennis) okay
1 Orange margin Butterfly (Prognathodes basabei) okay
2 Chain Catsharks (Scyliorhinus retifer) will eat the anthias and angels
1 Bandit Angel (Apolemichthys arcuatus) questionable with another angel

how deep does 'deep' need to be?
Bonianus opercularis
Serranus annularis
S. tabacarius
Gonioplectrus hispanus
Cephalopholis polleni
Liopropoma eukrines

do you still have that bandit angel? if so is it in this tank?
if not:
Genicanthus personatus
 
Acually i am in talks right now with someone that caught a Gonioplectrus hispanus. I might get the Liopropoma eukrines it has been offered to me a few times. I currently have a bandit in QT and will be in the tank in a few weeks. But i think i might just sell him. I was offered the last Genicanthus personatus before it was offered and sent to japan. ATM it was to expensive for me. Put it this way i can get 7 of my anthias for the price of one of those angels. But next one that get's caught i won't let it get away ;). Do u have any other suggestions??
 
nothing more balling that whatever it is you're probably going to end surprising me with :D
