Hi all,

New to forum, tank going for about 3 months now. Introduced Kole tang about 10 days ago. I have been researching adding a swimming partner for him, any suggestions for good fit? All tank info below:

Mg ? Ca 450 Phosph ?
30 gallon sump/refugium w/ mix of macro algae (chaeto, caulerpa, red). Coralife skimmer (actually works well)
All RO/DI water from spectra life 90gpd unit.

20 gallon QT, start date 11/31/15:
SG 1.023, ph 8.2. 2lb live rock, no sand. HOB filter and small pump.

Fish in DT:

2 Stubby Ocelaris (11/14/15)

Invertebrates in DT:

4 hermits (Cortez and blue leg)

I had a Hippo and Kole together in my 90G a while back. They got along fine so I decided to add a Yellow as well. After some initial bullying by the Kole everything was fine and had no issue whatsoever.
