Getter closer What Tangs are you gonna get?

That's a good question I was wondering if it's Wise to maybe put in like 7 to 10 at one time all new to the tank so there's no territorial issues

 

[ReefMagicMan]

Just put in two pajama Cardinals
Nothing special just getting a few basic hearty fish to look at until it's time to make the big purchase

Now that your nitrates are at 9 and the lights come on in 2 ish months we need to get a pH probe set up. Your lights set up. Ventilation set up. Cal Mag Alk and Phos test kits. And Tangs

 

[Turbo5150]

Give us your tang list and tag @4FordFamily

 

[ReefMagicMan]

OK so I just ordered these
If anybody has any input if they will get along will be great
they're all gonna be introduced at the same time and they are all small
I did do a little research
On this site and I think I picked a good pair we will see I did put a blonde Naso in a week ago

Turn one of the XR 30s on how nice the other one would not link up so I sent it into the Eco tech

 

[ReefMagicMan]

More blue spectrum so no algae growth

Just got the lights going thanks for asking I added 2 more yellow tangs
A total of five I'm getting a little aggression from the small ones but everything going well I'll get some pics for you when lights are on thanks buddy

I started with a trio from ocean devotion and then I found two more similar ones over at Tats tropical illusion in Thousand Oaks California
A little bit of aggression going on but usually it fades within a day or two from what I learned
Fingers crossed but they are very small
