Tang stocking order and QT?

[95harley]

Simple question/concern about QT and Stocking with Tangs.
I am in the early stages of stocking my 240g and I'm currently using a 75g as a holding/QT tank while I reduce stress and establish feeding patterns.
My question is this. Currently I have a nice 6" Yellow Tang in my 75g. My LFS also has a nice male Blond Naso Tang (around 8-10").
I am concerned that the QT tank will not be big enough for such a high energy Tang such as the Naso. Should I simply add the Naso to the display tank and give it time to settle (1+ month) then move in the Yellow. Or would the Naso be ok in the QT tank and I should stick to the original plan and move the yellow in after 1 month and get a Naso for the 75g.
Or should I add the Naso straight to the Display at the same time I move the Yellow out of QT?
Any advice from the Tang Police?

Once your Yellow Tang is finished with his QT period and added to your display you can QT the Naso tang in your 75. It may seem like it's a small tank for such a large fish but it will be fine by himself in your QT for the 3 weeks or so that you need to have him in there. This is a much better option than possibly adding ich to your DT.

I completely agree

The tang will be perfectly fine in the 75 for 3-4 weeks.

Good nuff, the Naso will just have to wait till the Yellow comes out of QT.
Thanks all. Was just worried about stressing the Naso out even more in a small tank.

How much longer is the YT staying in the qt? You can probably have the LFS hold the naso for you if you realy like that particular one.

Only been in the QT for a week so I'll let him go and just be patient on the next one. Naso's are pretty common not like it's a Queen Angel or an Aust Tusk or something really hard to find.
Thanks for confirming my thoughts.
