hi im wanting to upgrade to the Red Sea reefer 350G2 and I was wondering if you think I can keep a yellow tang with a one spot fox face in there?
 
@fishski13 ok thank you when you say plenty of rock work should I make caves and things like that? and also the other fish will be
1 yellowed jawfish
1 midas blenny
1 yellow tang
1 one spot foxface
2 clownfish
1 firefish
1 royal gramma
1 coral beauty
do you think that's good or is the coral beauty to big?

Yeah, make sure you make caves and different passageways just in case of any aggression a fish can change route in between caves or passageways to find a way out. So if you are doing coral just have to find a balance of caves and good positions for coral.

I think that list is all good including the coral beauty. Just make sure you add only a couple fish at once. I would probably start with around 3 fish that are 'beginner fish' like the firefish, royal gramma, or clownfish at first and let them settle in and make sure you water levels are all good. Than I would add the tang and foxface, once you know your tank is stable and doing good. After than just monitor your nitrate levels and happiness in your fish to see if you would like to add the rest.

ok thank you very much for all the help!
 
Foxfaces are awesome and are very peaceful. I don't have a yellow but my tomini tang and foxface get along. Foxfaces are big chucks and extremally hardy fish. I have the same tank pretty much but gen 1, 9-10 fish is the perfect amount. I currently have 7 and will add 2 more probably down the road.

ok great thanks also what do you feed the tang and the one spot? do you need to give them extra seaweed or just what grows in the tank?
 
I use these algae pellets and I also alternate with formula 1 and 2 frozen food from ocean nutrition's. Some days I also use omega one garlic flakes. I like to mix it up with food for them and other tank mates. I do not feed everything everyday.

seems to me that you will likely be getting a CB Biota yellow, no?
and there are 2-3 inch foxes in the LFS see

if that is the case it seems to me you would have a good long runway of these two fish in a 90 - particularly if it is scaped for both shelter and swim lanes.. but you may need to re-home at some point, (or about the time you decide to upgrade).

above based on personal experience

also by the way, I have had two FF's and both perfect gentlemen/tankmates, but never seen either of them graze once...

1 fox face one spot
1 yellow tang
2 clarkii clowns
8 blue green chromis
1 flame angle
1 neon goby
All in a 125 gallon with a 30 gallon sump. Algea turf scubber, and protein skimmer. That doesn't do much. But I leave it on for the oxygen.
