We used to have a whitecheek in our 75 gallon but we recently lost him and a lot of other fish to a velvet outbreak I named him Achilles because I wanted an Achilles Tang but he was too expensive so we settled on getting a whitecheek lol!

4 in my 150, P Blue, Orange Shoulder, Purple and Hippo.

 

[Trouble1375]

125 gallons

8” Sailfin - age unknown. She was a rescue that came missing most of her dorsal and scars from head erosion. Previous owner had her for 5 years and got her from LFS in that condition. Said that’s how she came in with their shipment

3” White Cheek - pic is from QT. Have had it about a month.

3” Mimic - pic also from QT - got it at same time as the White Cheek.

And of course the bicolor foxface who was having fits when he was intro’d to QT - such a drama queen

1000 gallon tank. Four yellows, one black, one white tail, one Kole, one Chevron. When the yellows start to fight (the three big yellows and the black all gang up on the smallest yellow)... I usually find that one of my auto feeders is empty. As long as I bomb them with food all day long and re-arrange a few of the hiding places, they get along pretty well.

Not to go tang FBI on you haha but do you plan on rehoming or resizing your tank later ? Sailfin and Hippo will outgrow that tank eventually . The sailfin sooner then later they get massive haha

I know because I have the same tank 525xl . I only have one tang currently a Tomini Tang . I was thinking of adding a yellow or purple but have been hesitant due to my tank size and possible fighting with an established Tomini tang ... Thoughts ?

They have all been in there for almost two year.. They gotten thicker and little bit bigger but I have a ways to go. Yellow is 2". hippo is 2-3", Purple is 2-3", and sailfish is 3". Purple and Sailfin are in charge of the tank. I have plenty of hiding places and they have all stake out there areas for when the lights are out.

As for a purple or yellow, you should be fine, the tomini isn't a Zebrasoma. If you do both, I would definitely put them in at the same time.

I wouldn't mind a reefer 750.... But I doubt momma bear will approve.

I would love to add a GEM tang....

Have you ever run into any issues with your ATO sytem in your 525xl ? I don't think my ATO is functioning properly and I am not sure why . .

I disconnected the tube and its dripping water so its leaving the ATO fine . I checked my bob lever it seems to be functioning fine so I am kind of lost why its not getting the water into my tank. My salinity was up to 1.030 the other day and my levels have been all wonky for a few weeks. its getting frustrating

 

[MichaelReefer]

Just one yellow. Didnt want to get another because I'm worried of them fighting.

They're selling a beautiful one at my LFS, $900.

 

[OceanDiver]

I’m surprised how few powder blues are out there. I have a yellow tang but want a powder blue also. But that’s all.

Thats because if you like at them the wrong way they get ich LOL

 

[OceanDiver]

My LFS is half that LOL

 

[MichaelReefer]

I ran into an issue where my float valve got buildup of some kind in it. I had to unhook the line and blow into the hose, manually moving the float valve up and down every few weeks.
