Dussumieri Tang (Acanthurus dussumieri) A great fish

It looks pretty big. Would one be comfortable in a 125 along with either another tang or a rabbitfish (and of course other smaller fish)

I would not reccomend one for that size of tank. They get very big, I have 2 now, ones in the 470 and both are amoung the largest fish in the tank. My Vlamingii's are the only other fish I have that have grown faster than the Dussumier tang.

Not only is that tank amazing .. all the otehr behind the scenes set up is amazing as well. How did you start to plan all that set up?

Absolutely stunning ;)
Thank you! The picture has a tree sponge. It is prbably a little more on the orange side rather than yellow in person.

This tank wasn't planned as well as it might seem. It sits where I orginally had my 210 sitting. We weren't able to fit this tank through the doorway into my office, so we moved the 210 into the office and set this one where the 210 had been. The behind the scene items were kind of pieced together without a real plan. Added something here and there to make the tank work. That's the big advantage to having equipment in the basement or fish room. Other than the ballasts for the lights, looks pretty bare under the tank....

Here are a few pictures. This one has been a good fish in the tank. Spots are on the tank, and not the fish..sorry.

The wood trim at the bottom of the tank is 1" above the sand line in the tank. I use a scraper to get pretty close to the level of the trim when cleaning.
