Hey I'm so excited I've finally finished my 29 cube tank! I got rid of my coral beauty when I saw the Imperator at the LFS. Its so awesome I know that everyone is going to say he is cramped but he seems really happy. And he has only been in the tank for a few days!!!!! I was little worried about the amount of waste he would make so I got a berlin airlift and added extra charcoal :jumping:
Let me know what you think.

2 Tangs and Imperator-- I think there's going to be money going down the drain!!! Yikes- risky to me, but it's your money and your tank. Poor animals though!! I think he is cool, but an awfully small tank for such a nice animal. I personally think it's very sad!!!!

Good Luck! Hate to burst your bubble, but they won't last long in a tank that size! You'd be dreaming if you thought you could keep even one tang long term in that size tank, let alone 2 and a full size angel! That's not only incredibly insane, but completely cruel to those fish!
Sorry for the beatdown, but you were just asking for it.

Ouch!!
I recommend a bit of research before you buy again. Fish like that don't need to be put into a death trap because of a lack of knowledge.
I have heard it before and I agree. People should have to take a class and pass a test to have pets.

I really hope you forgot to type 0 after 29. Seriously, please return imperator to LFS at least..........but preferably all of them...... it's like I'm looking at a time bomb. It's going to explode in any minute!!!!!!

If that pic was really taken in a 180, I really doubt if all three of them would crowd together so you could take a pic. I think you probably do have them all in a 29, along with god knows what else, and don't like having people tell you that it's not right. I hope your fish have a death wish, because they are not going to last in that tank.
Its so awesome I know that everyone is going to say he is cramped but he seems really happy.
Uh-huh, like how could he be less cramped? That yellow tang needs at least a 75 gallon, and the emperor angel needs a 135, he's going to get 15 inches. I'd see if you could return everything and get your coral beauty back, he's better suited for your death trap.

Think logically people. I looked at the pic, it is WAY too big for a 29 gallon cube. Definitely a joke, and maybe they crowded cuz they were about to be fed??? Ever think of that? Well, there you go. Nice fish and lighting BTW...:D

Yup I swear on it is a 180 look how deep it is....Those fish wouldn't last 3 hours in a 29. Lighting are VHO's Clark maybe you can jump in with exactly what they are.
Atlantic Blue is the other tang.

Good lord. I'm glad my heart is healthy...because it just skipped about 10 beats. At first I thought it was a juvi Imperator (like that makes it better...lol), but when I loaded up the pic and saw that it had adult coloring, well, I thought I was going to die. In the process I overlooked how big the tank actually looks in the picture. Thank God it's a 180, not a 29.
