Stocking Curiosity

[StPatrick89]

What size tank does this stocking list belong to? I’m curious to see how much of a rebel I am
Now before y’all respond in rage, no I don’t have all these fish and the first 5 are 3” or less...

Blue hippo tang
Sailfin tang
Convict tang
2 Oclowns
Niger trigger
Picasso trigger
Coral Beaut
Raccoon Butterfly
Harlequin Tuskfiah

220+ gallon maybe? Sailfin tangs get huge.

Sweeee that’s a huge tank lol.

Sailfins can get as big as dinner plates. I don't think that list would be a heavy bioload for a 220g but the sailfin will need the room.

Sheesh, good thing my Sailfin right now is about 2-2 1/2”. Do they grow fast?

I'm not sure, I've never had a tank big enough for one. I've seen huge ones in fish stores though.

What’s your tank looking like?

I just started a new tank after a couple year break. Not much in it yet but here's a picture I just took. Its a 65g

So grew quite a bit in two months. It doesn't pay to grow slow in the wild and be bait.

It was QT prior to these images for several months and didn't grow much at all.... likely due to stress and cramped conditions. Once under ideal conditions... she grew fast. I no longer have this Tang, I have a yellow now and will probably never buy a sailfin again due to the alarming growth rate.

You stored your live rock, or you bought that?

It definitely put on some size

Bought it. Most of it is direct from the ocean from Gulf Live Rock and KP Aquatics. It's been setup for about 3 weeks now.
