I need some sound Tang advice ,, when I post in my local forum ,, my fish want to buy list ,, when it comes to Tangs ,, I can never get ,, that's a good choice ,, go ahead and buy I will give you some info on what I have going on with my system ,, what fish I have in my tank now ,, what I am wanting to add to the tank ,,
I have a fairly new system ,, tank and everything that goes with that statement ,, the tank is 60x30x20 a Reef Savvy external overflow box ,, 4 Radion G4 XR30 Pro lights over the tank ,, The tank has been sit up long enough , that I am now at the point I can start adding SPS corals to it ,, I have very little Live Rock in the tank ,, only a few small pieces that are in the tank because they have corals growing on them ,, kinda a one small rock ,, one coral type of thing ,, I have a lot of Stax Rock pieces in the tank, have a lot of Favia frags, one coral one Stax rock for it to grow on ,,, I have a large Aqua Rocks Scape in the tank , a fairly open scape ,, SPS corals will go on top ,, Zoas & Palys growing up and down the branches towards the SPS corals ,, Favias on their own rock pieces on the sand bed ,, I have a large amount of Bio Sphears in my sump tank that were cured in my old system before that tank was taken down ,, that will be pretty much all the corals going into the tank ,, I have another tank ordered that will be a chalice only tank ,, I have a Top for the tank ordered from Artfully Acrylic ,, it will be here next week ,, I have been holding off buying any fish until I get the top,, actually the Top came in but had to be sent back for a few changes ,,
I do have fish in the tank ,, these were from my old tank ,, a Marine Betta I have a few rocks placed at the back of the tank to give him a place to hide ,, I have two Black Ice Clowns they have a small clay pot to live in, they don't stray far from that ,, a Malinraius Wrasse ,, Two Disbar Anthias , a Midas Blenny ,, that's all ,,
So ,, my plan is / was ,, to order my Tangs and about 3 Flasher Wrasses on my first fish order ,, give the Flasher Wrasses some time to adjust to the tank ,, then place a order for a few Fairy Wrasses ,, say 4 ,, I am not wanting a lot of fish for the tank ,, I am wanting to stay well on this side of not over stocking the tank with fish ,, My problem is coming up with my Tang Choices ,,,
I have friends tell me to add 4 Tangs to the tank ,, that's not happening ,, I would ,, rather have a lesser amount of Tangs and be able to add more Wrasses ,, I would be fine with just one or two Tangs ,, I kinda want a Purple Tang to be in the mix ,, I just think they add a lot of color to the tank ,, I have never owned one before though ,,
I am open to just about anything here ,, as long as its good advice ,, since the tank doesn't have any Tangs in it now,, I can order them at the same time ,, if ya'll recommend more than one ,, I am going into this with ,, going with what ya'll recommend ,,,
