How many fish Do you have it?

[badstorm48]

Is Tribal a Tribal Blenny? Keep an eye one him. Mine was great for about 9 months and then started eating coral. First a 1 foot wide monti, then some acans. I finally caught him sleeping in a rock I could easily remove and I evicted him. Cool fish though!

Yes lol tribal blenny. He does eat certain corals I just have to be careful of big fluffy corals. Though, I can have scollies, plate corals and such. Just can't have acans and open brains or fluffy brains

This is awesome! You have all these tangs in a 80g? Im thinking on add a third tang in my 120g. What are rhe dimmensions of your tank?

I think he's joking mate. He listed 20 tangs he has in an 80 gallon and he also listed every type. Either that or he had a typo and meant 800 gallo

Lol no joke, and no typeo, I actually had all of those tangs in there at once, I wanted to prove it could be done, and I needed a lot of fish for my experiment with bio pellets. Check out the photo in my post. There's a good amount of them in that one shot [emoji6]

well dang. thats a strange experiment since most tangs of that size are recommended for a larger tank not because of crapping but because of swimming room. you should've used a smaller schooling fish IMO

Cool! I love tangs!

You do realize nutrient export is only one of many issues with stuffing that many tangs in a little space right? You say experiment I say irresponsible. To each his own and I'm not tang police by any means but all you accomplished is proving you can manage there waste with more carbon dosing? Awesome. Now, how about no swim room, aggression, disease? Bio pellets work for That?

Sorry but I cringe at some of the list though I will refrain from being a willy, Ethical keeping is a phrase that comes to mind.
Back to the topic and spirit of sharing.

220 gal display with remote refugium tank and sump, total water volume of 270 gallons.
2) blue hippo tangs one for 5 years the other for almost 3 years
Chevron tang two years
Yellow tang 5 years
Maroon Gold stripe clown 4 yrs
Mollie miller Blenny 4 yrs
Bi color blenny less than 1 yr
Blue head Tile fish recent addition
4) Lyretail Anthias less than 1 yr
3) Blue eye Cardinals recent addition
2) Pacific cleaner wrasse less than 1 year

Slowly selecting and adding fish into my system and carefully logging details on parameters plus changes to the tank. I like to take my time making sure that the ecosystem stays healthy and continues to thrive although this tank is nutrient deficient due to filtration, amount of corals and really mature live rock. I do have plans to stock some more schooling fish and two or three more tangs. Exploring many options to fill needs of the tank or areas of swimming room to be occupied by interesting fish.

Have some fish in QT though I will not list these as they are not in this system or out of the woods yet so to speak.
Interesting topic
Good luck and happy Reefing

I do realize, my experiment at the time was to determine which brand of bio pellets worked most efficiently, the fish in the tank have all since moved on to new owners and of course bigger systems. The tangs were never meant to be in there long term. Most people will say you can't keep several Acanthurus (Achilles/powder blues/ gold rims/ hybrids/etc.) in the same tank without them killing each other and I was proving it could be done. There were never any issues with disease and as for swimming space flow was extremely strong to give the fish exercise (4000ghp in a 4' tank). In any case if they ever needed to be removed for any reason or crampage I do have a 900 that they could have all gone in. Thanks for the concern! [emoji106]
