I'm in the Cleveland the area. I am actually upgrading to a 125 gallon this month and a Purple Tang is sort of my list of fish to get.
Mebbe I will check in with you to see if you still have him when I have adequate space for him if you wanna get rid of him.
Right now I only have a 55 gallon and 15 Hospital (
How big is the Purple? Can he make it in a 55 if he is the only fish until my 125 is established and stocked?
