Tang suggestions??

revhtree · Apr 17, 2008

Hey since I took out my powder blue and my salfin for nipping corals, I am getting a few algae spots that are creeping back up.

I want a nice tang, and was wondering what you would suggest.

120g tank.

I love my Naso but the 120 might be a bit short. 4' right?

Do you feed nori? I'm surprised they are nipping. A fat tang should not be a problem.

i second the gem tang notion. rev's got the cash. he's just gonna have to go a little easier on that gold plated trim on the canopy

You can not go wrong with a purple. I had one for over 5 years and never had a algae problem!

I second the purple and I also like the scopas tang

Thanks for the suggestions...

No I am paying for this tang, and NO I cant afford those! LOL!

I am also scared of blue tangs due to others experiences...

Do yellows eat algae?

Agree with the tomini tang being a lawnmower. the Yellow eye's seem more shy. I know I am ugly, Old and Balding but Crud my wife can stand it. :hammer:

black tang=)

tominis are awesome, but my best friends just eats it off the glass, not the rock so much.

Garth Schafluetzel · Apr 18, 2008

i use to have a yellow that was great and ate off of everything..i got rid of him after it killed my mandarin..i have kept a purple and a kole tang before and liked both of them as well..my purple was a little aggresive but not too bad
