I do believe I have lots of swimming room for the tang (5ft tank)...my scopas seems to like to swim around the rocks too..and through the caverns. He is a fair sized tang though..he was returned to the lfs by someone who must have had too small a tank for him. I will post a pic of him as soon as...

Thanks StacyT...and I was indeed referring to your posts about the 240 and the 3 tangs It was a very informative post and I for one, thank you. I know that tang questions can spark some heated debates which lead to my caution. Your post has pretty much made my decision but this site says to take...

I almost hate to ask a Tang question...but here goes. I have been reading lots on this site about tangs. I have a 120 gallon reef tank with the most beautiful Brown Scopas Tang in it. I was hoping to be able to put a yellow tang in with because I have seen lots of pics of peoples tanks with more...

Originally posted by doodle1800 I like these 2. In my opinion the conscientious aquarist is out of date (undergravel filters) and labors on cycanide usage when catching livestock. True about the undergravel filter...but the book offers some amazing information on the different fish, inverts...

Originally posted by RussianSpy I recently bought a Royal Gramma for it's splended colors (or i was forced to buy it). But it seems a great addition, Doesn't require to much room, sense it hids in caves. My LFS said they don't require special diet (Great selection,bad advise) but it won't eat...

Mine is out all the time...swiming and mingling with the others and we have only had him for 10days. flip:jumping:

If you aren't in too much of a rush, 007 is going to post a 'lighting 101' soon. I am waiting for it because I don't understand this whole lighting thing either. flip:jumping:

I had about 20....but I am not seeing any feathers anymore...is there anything I can do to bring them back?

Originally posted by Neowind I would recommend maybe a few of these fish. Bi-Color blennie Royal Gramma Green Banded Goby Blue Reef Chromis Citron Clown Goby Those are some colorful fish that would be happy in your tank. I have a bi color blennie and a Royal Gramma and they are both great...

This is too much! I can't believe I read this whole thread flip:jumping:

Figstr822 Thanks, that helps. I don't mind waiting...well...it is torture actually...but I certainly will wait before getting corals for my 120. FishPhreak I will look into the Metal Halide lighting and I will most likely be back with more questions. Thanks again flip:jumping:

Originally posted by Figstr822 Yes, it's best to wait about 6 months before adding corals. However, I do know some people have added them much earlier with success. Thanks for the reply, I was wondering what the reason was for waiting months? What will change in my tank that will give them...

I am wondering when I can add corals to my tank. I am not asking because I'm in a rush, but because I don't know exactly when I can add them or what it is my tank needs to be doing. I have heard your tank needs to be established...heard you should wait 6 months..etc. I have no problem waiting...

Originally posted by Harlequinnut Your other concern aside from the compatibility of the two dwarfs is that most angels are a hit or miss with corals. They either leave them alone or pick them to death. JMO Hopefully I will pick a 'hit' instead of a 'miss' Is there any behaviour I could look...

Thanks for the input. I was told the coral beauty and flame would be fine...but I just wanted to get another opinion. I have 250 lbs of LR in the tank with loads of hiding spaces. Will the flame be ok with corals? flip:jumping:
