Dont do the mandarin for about a year, let the pod population gorw, and only then will it be iffy. Add tons of lr to the fuge in order for that. Other than that, everything is golden. The tang might have to go in a year or two, but im not gonna argue, just keep it fed with lots of greens. Twice daily feeding of seaweed, and possibly formula 2. But, sounds good to me

Rocks dont really need that much light. Well, could I interest you in a nice little gobie, possibly a blenny? Dragonets are always a hard one to keep. I wouldn't recommend unless you have a TON of live rock. YES, go out and buy more for the fuge, but leave whatever you have in the display. If you can, try to set up an above the tank fuge, that way the pods can go straight down into the display without gettting shredded.

probably said no tang because your tank is too small. if you look throughout this site you will see that the recommended minimum tank size for a tang is 75 gal. of course as someone else posted, the tang will probably be ok for a year or two. you'll just have to watch him for signs of stress as he gets bigger and either transfer him to a bigger tank or trade him in.

A tang will be fine in your tank.

It is your money so get a tang. I hate it so much when people say DONT PUT A TANG IN ANYTHING BUT A 75. Who made this rule? Opposed to what?..the ocean? We can never ever make our tanks as good as where most of these fish come from. So if you want a yellow tang then get one...he/she will be fine. It is better than the tang staying in a 10 gallon for months at the fishstore........Thank you.

And one more thing. There are people starving in the world and alot of people on this board are worried about putting a tang in a 10 gallon tank. This is a business people. The fish stores are going to sell the fish whether you have a 10 gallon or a 8000 gallon. If you shouldnt put a tang in a 10 gallon tank then there ought to be a law. I just dont understand some people........
