When to add Tomini Tang ?

[vareefer1979]

Hello, my tank had been running about 6 weeks with 2 small clownfish and small CUC hermits/snails. I want to add Tomini Tang. I don’t have algae outbreak due to snails and hermits, I know that I will have to supplement food for Tomini. Just want to make sure tank is stable enough for Tomini, water parameters are within normal limits, monitoring Nitrates at 10-20 ppm per API test, doing 20% water changes biweekly. Also tank is standard 75 gallon 48 inch long.

That would entirely depend on what other fish you are putting in the tank

No others tangs, just wanting to go slow, I plan on a few small fish like royal gramma, firefish.

Anytime. Great algae eaters. Probably the best. Eill need nori everyday if no algae to pick at. Shy fish tho. Not as bold as other tangs. Heres mine

Mine went in first thing with two clowns, and has been fine with all of the additions I have made since. I supplement with nori or algae pellets so I don't sweat it when there isn't much algae for it to munch on.
