Welcome! Glad you joined.Hi everyone, I have a 1-2 inch blue tang, 2 inch yellow tang and a 4-5 inch powder brown tang and I’m looking to add a 5-6 inch purple tang. They say to add the most aggressive last but I’m worried he might bully my other tangs…… can it be done without him killing my other tangs?? I have a 400 litre (105 gallon) tank with plenty of rock and coral to hide in? Any help with this will be much appreciated

Thanks for your reply, rule of thumb is to add the most aggressive last…….I generally add all Tangs at the same time cause that way they do not have an established territory yet, the tangs you already have most likely have territory established. 2nd the tank is a bit small for that many Tangs they need lots of room to swim, I would add some smaller fish keep it safe.
ThanksHello and welcome to R2R!
Thanks, great to be hereWelcome!
Thank youWelcome to R2R! Your tank looks great!
Thanks! Do you think it’s worth giving it a go? I have a QT tank if everything turns to custard hi , welcome to the reef...
just my opinion,but think 5-6" purple too big for tank,would most likely leave blue and yellow alone ,just by size difference,but may be prob with p brown. nice reef, happy reefing
Hey! Thanks for your comment, I upgraded the skimmer pretty early in the hobby to be fair. No I’m in New ZealandHi welcome to r2r,
Im new to saltwater but would think and agree with fishguy about size difference leave them alone.only problem could occur is with the powder brown as similar size. see yours is full to the brim and looking great and also see you have a aqua one 400,so question for you if i may ^_^ what your opinion on the skimmer that came with the tank ? Did you use it or just buy another ?
I take it you in dorset?
hi, i'm sorry but think is bad option,too big,just going to get bigger...Thanks! Do you think it’s worth giving it a go? I have a QT tank if everything turns to custard
So a smaller one would be ok?hi, i'm sorry but think is bad option,too big,just going to get bigger...
