correct me if i'm wrong... but i heard conches need 100+ to live
and other than that, add the coral banded shrimp last and you're good to go.

go with 2 mexican turbos, not 10
id go with a queen conch and a persian sand conch rather than 2 fighting conch.
and id skip both the monkey shrimp and the coral banded. just go with 2 cleaner shrimp.
id also skip the teddy bear and boxing crab, the decorator should be fine.
and do 20 nassarius snails rather than ten.
oh, and the longnose hawkfish will most likely kill your shrimp, id try for a dwarf angel rather than the hawkfish.

I've had a longnose hawk with my CBS for several years without problems.
And I bought a baby hippo and he is in my 55. He is probably 6 months old right now and happy and extremely fat

Then I guess the people who own this website, corresponding store in Florida and writers of this article are dumb.
Granted, I wouldnt put one in a 40, but obviously SOME research must have been done to determine that. I doubt someone just took a shot in the dark.
AND LET ME MAKE AN EDIT: You will find a difference in opinion depending on who you talk to. My LFS owner knows my tank intimately and he has been in the business for 21 years. I spoke to him before I purchased this Tang and he felt given my tank setup that the Tang would be happy.
Actually, Why am I justifying myself to someone named Teen? This guy has been involved in tanks probably longer than you have been alive.
Knock off being rude on these boards. Everyone has success with different setups

i guess they are because i dont know of anyone who would agree that 40 gallons is sufficient for a hippo. and i highly doubt a store took time out to do research on a tang living in a 40 gallon.
i dont care how long that guys been in the business. i have lfs around here with owners of 25+ years and i still hear them give a lot of bad advice, and most of the time try and correct there customers.
and your right, that guy has been in the business longer than i have been alive. im 18yrs old and i guarantee i could talk circles around him and you, so nice try with that one. teen doesnt even come from that fact that im a teenager, its a nickname.
