bluesky Posted April 29, 2008 Author Share Posted April 29, 2008 love the pictures! whats up with the tang?! Tang is a noob mistake ... I will get it out when my 75g is ready ... its around 2 inches right now ... Can we reply now? Thanks for the blog! Nice pictures - good work on that. Uh-Oh... Is that a tang? <stepping back> K-thx-bye... -hank I know ... the tang police has been knocking on the door ... Wow... I'm surprised there hasn't been more outcry b/c of that tang. Please please get him out of there.Tank looks great otherwise Yes, I am going to get him out of there by summer if my 75g is not ready by then. There is already a home available. My friend has a 200g. This was actually one of his tiny blue tang that he gave me as a gift ... hopefully when I take him out, I will not knock down my corals and rocks ... 75gallon seems okay for a blue tang right?

HankB Posted April 29, 2008 Share Posted April 29, 2008 I know ... the tang police has been knocking on the door ... I was heading out on a motorcycle ride Saturday morning and passed a road "Tang St." At least that's what I thought I saw. I was leading a small group so I couldn't stop but I really have to go back and get a picture of that for occasions like this. -hank Link to comment

What do you guys think about this idea? remove: baby blue tang add: rose anemone + another tomato clown. (I might have to give away my current one and get a mating pair though) I am just worried that the rose will be get too big as well ... Link to comment
ap123 Posted April 29, 2008 Share Posted April 29, 2008 No useful thoughts here on the tang or the clown--too new. I just wanted to say your tank is beautiful, and thank you for showing such a clear progression. Link to comment
StevieT Posted April 29, 2008 Share Posted April 29, 2008 you could add another tomato clown, but watch out, they get up to 5" adult size so keep that in mind when adding any other fish. Keep your bioload low dump the tang, it can hurt your tank with such a large bio load and it needs much more room to swim the rose anemone should be added to a mature tank with medium to high lighting Link to comment
