Hello all,

My Cade 1200 S2 (114g display) is a well established tank (~4 years) and I always keep a light stocking of fish. Over the last year my old Mag. FoxFace died and just recently an old yellow tang I got from a friend passed. Currently I have a Tomini Tang and 2 clowns in the tank, with the lack of my two algae grazers It has been hard to keep the algae down and it is not out of control. I have tried urchins and a wide variety of CUC but I cant seem to keep them down.

I have been hesitant to add additional tangs due to aggression shown from my tomini to my clowns. But I want my tank to look great again. I was looking to add a Scopas, Blue Hippo, and Lawnmower Blenny.

Any thought son this or if I should go for a different grouping of tangs? I will add Mirrors and feed heavy in the beginning to reduce aggression.
