For those those who keep 4 plus tangs only please. My tank goals are basic: 210 gal Tang tank, running a 100 gal basement sump with two 7” diameter filter socks, oversized skimmer, and about 40gal reverse lighting cycle refugium of macro algae. High flow bare bottom display. Remote sandbed in refugium. Tangs and coral are my primary focus in the hobby after 10 years reefing, planned upgrade to 8x3x3 tank in a few years. The only other must have fish is a lightening maroon clown and one spot foxface. Please provide a sanity check for my stocking list, or provide alternatives. I will have 5-7 tangs in this tank plus my foxface and lightening maroon clown. No other fish planned.
Purple tang (currently have in QT)
Kole Tang (Currently in QT)
convict Tang (preorder placed)
Blonde Naso (preorder placed)
Pacific blue Tang (for consideration
Lavender Tang (for consideration)
Orange shoulder Tang (for consideration)
Desjardini sailfin Tang (for consideration)
Based on what others have posted about aggression levels and mixing types of tangs, i’m leaning toward a pacific blue and lavender and stopping there. The orange shoulder is in close competition with the lavender. Desjardini is in there just because I like them, but with this many tangs not sure it’s a good pick. A picture of the tank aquascape is attached for idea of swimming space if anyone cares to advise. Thanks, I really appreciate the help of members of this forum sharing their experiences.
