I agree, although a clearer picture would be helpful.

My last 2 Tangs went in tonight. Powder Blue and a Clown.

What kinda sand is that? I got Carib Sea Hawaii sand and the grains are to big for my liking.

 

[Reef4Rose]

Carib Sea Tahitian Moon I think they call it. It is pretty fine and very consistent in size. It’s a little shiny so it shimmers a bit. Like little pieces of coal.

How many tangs can I keep in a 70 gallon? I've thought about keeping like 4 yellow tangs. I already have one so not sure how to add more...

Four tangs - especially four of the same species - would be considered pretty darned tight by most folks. I might consider adding a smaller bristletooth to the yellow in the 70, but wouldn't try to add three more Zebrasoma.

Those yellow tangs will out grow your 70G

Ok thanks

OK. Looking at a White Tail BT to go into 93 cube with a couple of wrasse now but a bunch more wrasse and possible anthias down the line. Pro and cons? I feel like I've read more con that pro for aggression. It would be lone tang. Thoughts?
