Hey,
I have a 72x24x20 155g SPS tank. Lost my Blue Hippo Tang yesterday after the breaker tripped overnight. Tang had some HLLE, and I don't know that it was super health.
Considering a something to replace it. FWIW, I regretted the Blue Hippo after seeing them in a large reef display at the aquarium in Phoenix. At 5ish years, it was probably 8 or 9 inches...and regularly creating frags off my acro & monti colonies.
Anyway, I am considering what to replace him with. I was thinking an orange shoulder tang b/c they seem to be pretty low aggression, but the size is too much for my tank, I think. Would like a PBT but am concerned about the aggression. I have a yellow tang, and a swallowtail angel...other than that, mostly smaller reef fish that I am not too worried about. The tank is pretty lightly stocked, fish-wise.
Not sold 100% on a tang. But no nippers. Have a sixline, so not sure other wrasses.
