Ik yal afoot bar tried of hearing about how much I love tangs but will thoses work in a 75
Naso tang no
Powder brown tang Possibly.
White cheek tang no
Blue Caribbean tang no
Clown tang no
Red Sea purple tang Possibly
Flame fin tomini tang no
I haven't had time to research them yet been really bussy but f any of yal have experience with any of thoses give your insight
look into:
yellow tang
Chocolate / mimic tang
purple tang
kole tang
powder brown tang
Those are pretty much your only options as far as tangs in a 75g. I'd only pick two - if that.

Thanks I really don't get he recomdided sizes for powders blues and tangs like that are the recommendations for juvenile I would imagine adult but I say stuff saying powder blue in 55 or 75 can't remember whicg

Imagine if you were a 1ft long fish in a 4 ft long tank.
Now, imagine going into a bathroom stall that you have to straddle the toilet to close the door.
It's about the same.

Got it... I like triggers to so many cool triggers though
How many fish in a 75 I was thinking like 2-3 big thts if like 2 small or like 2 big 3 small give or take?

If it is a reef tank, the fewer the better.
If it is a fish only tank, then you can get away with what your filtration and compatibility can handle.

When I set it up it will start as a fish only with live rock then a few months later it will be a reef tank
Wat do you have in your 75

I have two tomato clowns, a bicolor blenny, a kole tang and soon to be a yellow tang. I'll also be adding either a McCoskers flasher wrasse or a Carpenters wrasse when I can find one at a good price and availability.
I have an oscellaris clown in my sump - I'm taking him to the store for credit ASAP.

Powder browns are actually much smaller than powder blues at full adult length.
Powder browns are actually kinda pushing it in a 4 ft tank.

 

[littledynam1te]

Really thts cool I guessing miss read? Anyway I looked up those I really liked the powder brown
Not sure wat triggers I wat though

 

[littledynam1te]

I'm still not sure but luckily the people at my LFS stores have tons of experience one guy has a building just for fish and at the other one the people know wat there talking about and either really try to push product the just try to help just like u guys own the forum plus my local pet smart people know a lot about freshwater fish and all have a lot of experience in freshwater surprising I still haven't made up my mind?
