Stocking Ideas for a 120g

[NowGlazeIT]

I'm close to pulling the trigger on a male + harem of anthias, seeing your stocking list makes me think it's doable. The sheer number of tangs astonishes and frightens me, lol. My prob is that I'm at 3 tangs already since the rabbitfish have a similar bioload as a similar sized tang, I'd love a powder brown/blue to add but I'm scared of fighting nitrate & phosphate and just not having the room.

I finally got into a groove with keeping my nitrate about 20 and phosphate at .06 -.10 but I am changing 15% water every 7-10 days.

If you get the pbt try to get the smallest one you can. It helps them find their place among the chaos easier. I normally add a few rocks when I add a new tang to make homes and switch up the aggression. The anthias can eat all day but my single female is doing well with me feeding 1-2 times a day w/ good food dry and frozen. I’m using bio pellets and vinegar to keep nutrients in line. I think an algae scrubber would be more robust for the job but I hated the weekly clean outs hah.
