Tangs in a 150 tall?!?

[Theo15]

I think it's better to add different tangs. I have a yellow tang, snowflake and picasso clownfish pair, 2 lyretails and a blue sapphire damsel. I had a hippo tang for 2 years and it seemed cramped so I got her moved to a friends 220. I plan to add this angel next and will probably be my last.

Cool, I thought angels were coral eaters though?

EcoTech radion xr30w gen3 pro with standard lens not wide angle. Slowly cranking it up to get PAR up.

You don't have a shadowing problem with a tank that deep ?

 

[Theo15]

What about an achilles tang, powder blue or brown ?

Some what shadowing on my branching sps, have considered add aquatic life t5 hybrid, also looking at the diffusers.

I bought mine used, otherwise they would have been too expensive!

Yea especially to light a tank that large , I was thinking maybe a sunblaze 8 bulb t5 ho fixture...

Anyone have any input on an achilles tang, or powder blue in this setup?

Tank is way too short for these in my opinion, especially the Achilles. I have a 6ft 150gal and Achilles are one of my favorites and it's not nearly enough space so I haven't bought one. Definitely do different species. Chevron, yellow, tomini, kole, etc the smaller ones

I wouldn't try those tangs, they are beautiful fish though! Here is a few pictures of my setup.

I think 3 would be ok

Very nice !!!, the only thing I think I would do is add more verticallity.

Maybe add some magnetic rock shelf to the back glass, that would be killer !!
