This senior reefer once told me.

If u want to keep an AT, start with keeping YT, PT, BT first.

If these 3 survives, keep powder blue/black/brown tangs.

If the powder tang survives, then maybe can try AT.

Have you tried that?

I am still at the first stage.

If the YT, BT and other tangs survives pass another 3 months, i will move to 2nd stage and then finally the AT.

If phase 1 succeeds, i will remove the YT, BT and other tangs b4 moving on to phase 2.

Eventually left maybe just 1 powder blue tang, 1 powder black tang, 1 red sea salfin tang and 1 AT.

A 3.5x2.5x2.5 ft tank has a water volume higher than that of a 4x2x2 ft tank.

By the time you wait for those AT to start eating (99.99999999999999% of them won't) in LFS, they are all sold or died already.

Unless you buy from CF or some other LFS that can make them eat.

sounds like Fish War III to me..

it is too small and u might have a huge fight

This remind me of the sad sight i saw at R*b**n where more than 20 PBT are left in the centre tank with MH... :cry:

anybody knows how much are PBT these days???

Let us work together to preserve the world for our children to inherit by being responsible to our surroundings. Take nothing but pictures, leave nothing but footprints, bubbles and memories.
