Have a reef tank that has been up and running for about 10 months now and have a question on the livestock.. current inhabitants
1) black long nose tang ( 6 inches )
2) Adult vlamingi tang ( 8-10 inches )
3) Blonde Naso Tang ( 6 inches )
4) Sailfin tang ( 5 inches )
5) Purple tang ( 4 inches )
6) keyhole tang
7) bunch of small reef safe wrasses ( around 6 of them )
8) reef safe invertebrates ( red shrimp and cleaner shrimps )
9) last livestock to be added soon is a Atlantic blue tang and a pair of crosshatch triggers

Tank is 10 foot by 2.5 by 2.5

Anything I should worry about in terms of reef safe tangs I don’t know about and if the tank is big enough .. thanks and awaiting your reply

If anyone interested in pictures of the tank or certain fish let me know

The tank is big enough. Just add the new tang using a social acclimation box to limit aggression from the existing tangs.

Thx for the reply .. yeah sounds like I’m going to do that .. I actually got 4 yellow tangs in the sump deciding what to do with them cause they were taking turns stressing the black tang

Will do once I’m back home
Sorry about the photography .. had to picture in blue light keeping the white light to a minimal while the cynoalgae problem is coming to an end .. finishing with live stock then going to start with adding more corals as the tank matures further.. tanks looks much better with the white light
