Your right,every fish is different.Tangs aren't exactly peaceful fish either though.Thats where i thought you were going with your question,because you assumed any new addition may get bullied abit by your naso,which is going to get huge...lol..I had a chocolate tang who would beat the crap out...

Put some kind of trigger in there with him.

If your not even willing to put your tap water into your own body then ok,,i wouldn't use it.What i may consider is, moving....

I think as long as you do indeed plan to upgrade to the 225 your list is fine.Your current 120 is an odd footprint,and i think your list will need at least a 6 foot tank someday soon.Emps are more difficult than say,a koran(which is what i have).I don't think you'll be able to keep a cuc with...

I do 5 gallons every saturday on my 125,its just part of the weekend routine.

IMO ,hair algae has little to do with tap water.I have never had a problem with it...

No

I have a 30 gallon and that seems to be a popular size for a QT.I have QTed,a clown trigg,a humu,a juvi koran,and a chocolate tang and all dealt with it fine.Ofcourse they were not all in at the same time,each one was done alone.

Glad to hear your taking our advice,I think your new stock list sounds like a winner....Just keep an eye on the 6 line,they can be bullies.

Man,where to start....Fish are not ich magnets!If you do not have it,they will NOT get it..UV's will not solve your ich problems.May cover em up a bit,and make you feel better,but i doubt it will even do that.Baby or not,the blue tang does not belong in a 30 gallon tank for more than 4...

I never owned a lion,but i know some people who do,and they say they are one of the more boring fish to keep.They hover in a corner ,wait for food,attack it,go back to corner digest,and repeat.Like i said i never owned one and my comments all are second hand...I agree with getting a nice looking...

Yeah, i miss em ,they have been gone for sometime now

Tough size tank to stock for a centerpiece fish.If you upgrade someday,i'd go for something in the large angel family.

Well since the update,you can't get old threads.Anyway,place a small mirror(5x5 inches or so) in you tank corner and the tang should be more interested in its own reflection,thinking its another one of him in there.This should distract him so the other tang will be able to cruise the tank.I have...
