Three Tangs

[Terryz_]

Is it possible to have a blue tang, whitecheek tang and a sailfin tang... in a 4ft tank... is the bioload too much...

[Morgan]

It is OK provided you don't add any more "big" fishes.

[Dispar_Anthias]

yes you can have them all in your tank but thats not advisable as tangs produce lots of waste and will get territorial once they are stable in the tank........ BTW IMO one tang to me in a 4 feet tank is enough(looking at them when they poo, is crazy)..... Anyway my prediction is that after sometime, the fiercest tang in your tank will the white cheek and also that not a easy fish to keep. It has poor survival record, and get ich easily

[blacknails]

Yup.. If you add them one by one over a period of time and there are no other huge fishes in your tank it should be ok..

[Terryz_]

okaie... den wouldnt get the whitecheek.. dun wan to cause the death of the fish...

[[P]owder Blue]

Get a Yellow tang or Purple tang to replace the white cheek... IMO they are more hardy.

[Terryz_]

Nah... i think two tang would be enuff...

Eh IMo having 2 zebrsoma species of tangs together is not a good idea

[DeepBlue]

Yup but he already decide to have a sailfin tang, so if you ask him to add one more purple or yellow is gonna be bad idea

[[P]owder Blue]

Oversize your skimmer.

Oversize your skimmer.

huh??? meaning overskim...

[FuEl]

Same thing lah..get a skimmer recommended for twice your tank size or something like that.

Tangs poop alot.

[Terryz_]

My next tank is 4ft ler... where to get a so powerful skimmer... Is AquaC Urchin or AquaC Urchin Pro enuff..

[FuEl]

Nah..urchin too undersized.. Get the bigger model.

My 4ft onli using weipro 2012 though..coz my 4ft is the narrow and shallow type.

[Terryz_]

Weipro 2014??? enuff... Or anyone can reccommend.. Budget less den $350-$400...

[FuEl]

Ya..enough..if you got $$ to spare then go get Aqua C lor.

[Terryz_]

AquaC Ev,,, is way off my budget...

[[d]3v|L]

If you can go for a AquaC R Pro though it is abit undersized. Better still if you can afford Schuran, Euro reef etc

[Terryz_]

Which is more suitable Weipro 2014, AquaC Remora Pro or AquaC Urchin Pro... i am a bit confused...

[terryansimon]

[Dispar_Anthias]

get euro reef, h&S or aqua medic multi turbo flotor

[Terryz_]

get euro reef, h&S or aqua medic multi turbo flotor
