AWESOME reef! I had a 46 bow as my first tank, and I though it was a great size. Yours is looking very nice - keep up the great work!

Nice tank. I am currently setting up a 46bf and have found a little inspiration now. I am trying to figure out what fish I want to stock mine with. Would you mind posting a list of fish you have in yours?

I hope you don't mind me butting in and giving a few suggestions for fish, as I had a 46 bow for a while. When it was not housing seahorses, I kept a wide variety of species (not all at the same time):

- Gobies: clown, neon, and yellow watchman
- Dartfish: firefish
- Fairy wrasses: Labouti (a BIG jumper, though, so beware)
- Clownfish: maroon and ocellaris pair (again, not at the same time)
- Hawkfish: flame

Depending on your filtration and your stocking plans, I would say that 4 or 5 small to medium sized fish should do well. hope this helps.
