:mad:My old yellow tang was chasing the new yellow tang before lights off. He better be nice tomorrow or else I’m putting him in an acclimation box!

I want to put the Trident on top of my control box, or is this a bad idea?

Any chance you remember what that cabinet is called?

Wow! Nice build, following.
I love your scape! Perfect for nice colonies in some time.

It’s from Ikea, called Eket. There are two sizes, make sure to get the wider one.

Thanks so much! That’s the plan!

I love how they all school together but I had to rearrange the rock a bit because my original yellow tang is chasing my newcomers. It’s funny because he’s the smallest one.

I’ve been inquiring suppliers about another zebrasoma, a black longnose tang, that I’d like to add to my tank. I’ve never had one before and I want him to be the biggest one. My current ones are between 3-4” so the black tang needs to be at least 5”

I had to put someone on timeout! :mad: I tried catching with just a net with no luck so I had to remove my rocks. Catching him was fairly easy after that. Now, when should I release him? Or, should I risk it again or sell him?

Why not time him out in your other tank and then reintroduce him after a week? By then he is the NEW kid in the block.

Or wait for your black tang to come and then introduce them together in this tank.

That’s a great idea! I’m also thinking about giving him to my friend. He’s got a new 6-foot tank and I know he’ll be happy in there. If I end up giving him away, I have no choice but to get another zebrasoma with the black tang so I’ve also been inquiring about a koi tang hehe

Why not throwing a Acanthurus in the mix and show the yellow tang who’s boss?

Hahaha yeah then it will definitely be a war! I’ll add an acanthurus when I upgrade to my dream tank!

Thank you for following my build! I was going to sell my small tank and replace it with the 500 but I was able to convince my wife that it looks better as a divider between our kitchen and dining room. Well I also said she can have the small tank but you know that’s only partially true haha
