You‘re already way over stocked.


a CLOWN TANG in a 30g? I can hear the tang police sirens.

get rid of the tang and add a nano fish and that should be a good stock list

The tang is not a permanent resident. He will most likely going into my 80 reef tank. Is that a problem if he goes in there too?

Hmm, what about a 450 gallon?
There is a
Vlamingi Tang
Tomini Tang
Dussmeiri Tang
Yellow Tang
Black Tang
Australian Stripeys
Desjardini Tang
Blue Hippo Tang
all in there. I was not planning on putting him in there tho because he is so small I don't want him to be killed. Is it fine to put him in it when he grows a little?

Yea just let it grow out to 4-5 inches in the 80 and moving should be a good idea.

Although I am worried about the aggression levels with that many tangs. That is going to be a whole another can of worms

Hmm I am a little stuck. In my 80 there is just 1 Chromis and 1 Damsel but alot of coral. Would he be fine in there? I am nervous of putting him in my 450g because of the Vlamingi he is about a foot long.

He will be fine for a while until he is a juvenile.

but not long term. After he gets to about 5 inches ish, it will have outgrown the 80
