yes I'm sorry I know it's only about 20-26gallons I can tell from the picture, that's why I mentioned the hippo tang. that fish is recommended to be in a tank that is about 180 gallons and should be in at least a 90 gallon tank within the first 6-8 months. A 26g tank will only hold this fish temporarily, this is not a home for that fish. It should be taken out before to long and put in a much larger aquarium.
I wasn't sure if you knew recommended tank sizes for that fish. lots of people dont because they come in such small fish sizes when you buy them, people dont realize how big that fish gets and how much space they actually need to live properly.
that's why I said the "tang police" well detectives because there was still and ongoing investigation about the actual tank size....

yeah you don't need the second light, the ai prime alone will do the job. Trust it.
Secondly, take the tang back to the store man. it's not cool to have a tang in a small tank. it's like you living in a closet and also cooking and pooping in the closet, on and you also sleep, play and live there all day. Tangs are for large tanks ONLY bro. There are several options for algae eating fish for nanos, you don't need a Tang. Just do the right thing, yeah?
Tank looks really cool. Keep us in the loop with the Tang and the future of this tank!
happy reefing
