[Alberto Gonzalez]

hello I'm from Brazil and I came here for help of you to know that you guys have more knowledge in the aquarium branch , have a 150 liter aquarium which has a skimmer to 600 liter aquaria the parameters here are nitrate 10 phosphate 0 nitrite and amonia 0 , have one yellow still small tang 1 damself blue 2 ocellaris and 1 blenny I wonder if with these fish can still add a stenopus shrimp and sailfin tang or just the fact that this yellow tang when it grow my aquarium already going be super crowded ?

Honestly, the sad answer to your question is zero - zero tangs in a 150 litre tank. I'm only new to reefing, but not to aquariums. It's not just an issue of how many fish are in the tank, it's the type of fish and their requirements. Tangs are high speed swimmers and need some length to get the speed up - it's a bit like having a race horse in a suburban back yard. Plenty of people have Yellow tangs in your size tank, but a Sailfin tang really needs a much lager tank - around 600 litres. You can check the tank requirements for each fish on Liveaquaria.com.
