Future tank ideas

[-_- ZM]

Just had some some tank ideas for down the road, was wondering if anybody had points or suggestions to make on them. Particularly on what tang would actually work, and the corals any thoughts and advice are welcome.

Hermit crabs and/or snails to clean up their messes. :smiling-face-with-smiling-eyes:

Aw man. Not the little snip snips.:frowning-face:

That’s unfortunately what eels of the genus echidna specialize in. Also why they are more fish safe then other eel genera

Then as a redemption suggestion, an encrusting coral, and some macroalgae to add some spice! Assuming eels or tangs are not omnivorous.

Tangs LOVE macroalgae.....

Again, I meant that to be funny, but I realize that you don't know me, so I'm sorry, I was just trying to have little fun. And I'm not any kind of expert, I really am here learning too.

It’s a broad question - I would suggest checking out the Large Build thread section for ideas. Not sure why you’re limited to 75g though - tangs need room to swim and grow. I would start with a minimum of 120g, or the biggest tank you can fit in your space. I usually max out the room and get the biggest thing I cannot afford! lol (but that’s just me).

I would add to the list: gem, yellow, purple, archilles, and koi (my fav)

Corals: tangs are reef safe so all good.

Good luck!

I was searching through some old posts (shhhhhh, Santa's working here (and no, I'm not *your* SS)), and I found this:

Got your gift? Be sure to say "Thank You!" to your Secret Santa!

Ho! Ho! Ho! So exciting to see gifts going out already!! You guys know how to bring a twinkle to my eye!! I get more happy about this thread than a whole plate full of cookies (and milk too, of course!)! This is our official "Thank You!" thread!! (Btw, saying thank you is actually a requirement...

Please, send me your channel, I'll check it out! Is it saltwater or Cichlids or both? Either way, I'll give you a view or two ;-)

LOL! MY CHANNEL SHOWS MY LAST 5 YEARS OF FRESH AND, WELL VERY EMBARRASSING SALT WATER JOURNEY. IF YOU GO BACK TO THE VERY START OF MY SALT WATER JOURNEY YOU WILL KNOW EXACTLY HOW A NEWBIE CAN PROGRESS TO A FAIRLY DECENT REEF IN JUST A FEW YEARS. BUT IT IS EMBARRASSING AT TIMES. :rolleyes:
