NNNOOOOOO!!!! No tang should be in a 55 gallon! Plus, you have to be REALLY careful buying from *****-they don't always know what they're doing.

What devildog said is very true, tangs shouldn't be confine in such a small tank as a 55. It should at the least be a 75 or more. Sailfin especially shouldn't be in anything less than a 125. I want to repeat what I said in an earlier post, I have a 150 gallon fowlr tank running side by side with the 46, the 46 is only a temporary home for the 2 baby tangs.

Just want to clarify my opinion about a tang in a 75. There are only one or two species of tangs that may be able to live in a 75 individually. The kole tang(aka yellow eye tang) or maybe the yellow tang. JMO

lucky duck, mine put a GREEN MORAY in with a royal gramma. Plus. this green moray was about 2 feet long in a 20 long. Nice huh? When I asked the manager why the green was in with the basslet she said it was there to keep it company. Idiots.

You are absolutely right, I do have a bubble algae problem. At the beginning, I thought it was kinda cool cause it looks like a marble or something. But now there's too much of it. I tried to get rid of as much as I can by hand but I've given up. Now I leave it alone if it's not really bad and or taking up spaces of my corals. Any suggestions?

But you do have to be VERY CAREFUL if you siphon them out, because if it for some reason doesn't get sucked up and it just bursts-it sends spores throughout the tank, and makes it an even BIGGER problem!
