Currently cycling a 60 gallon 4x2 frag tank. Half the tank will be ruble and small rock formations, the other half bare bottom with frag racks. Looking for stocking suggestions. Would love to have some good utility fish for algae and pest control if possible.
 
Probably people will still have a split opinion on this, but a Tomini Tang would be about your only bet as a Tang for eating algae in a 60-gallon. They are quite beautiful, at least. 😊
