New lineup

[tywtly13]

Ok, I think I've decded on the lineup of my 55 gallon FOWLR I'm setting up. I will have 1 or 2 fuzzy dwarf lions, a maroon clown, a snowflake eel, and a yellow tank. I decided against a picasso trigger and added a tang for algae control.

The yellow tang will not do well in the 55.. People aren't going to like the idea. Tang need 6' of swimming room.

Crap. I was told on another forum that yellow tangs would be fine in a 55. Any other ideas for algae control in the form of fish?

Many people put yellows in. It is just not good for them because they are big swimmers.
I don't know if this will go that size tank, but foxface are good for algea control.

I've had my foxface for almost a year now and it has not bothered any of the other fish in my tank and it is by far the biggest fish in the tank.

Well, mine was in bad shape apparently when I bought it, even though there were no visible signs, as it died the next day and I couldn't find it...I assumed it was hiding and acclimating, and a few days later, its body floated up, and the rest of the fish died over the course of a week.
