Hey guys, apologies for the long post but I can’t find anything on these white bullseye markings on multiple tangs. I have 2 tanks, both have been running 2 years just about. Mixed reef and the fish are thriving. Parameters are ideal. Recently I purchased a convict tang for my bigger 165 gallon...

This year we are renovating and with this I have space for a larger tank. I’ve had my heart set on a Red Sea 250 but noticed blue tangs (which I wanted) need closer to 350litres as a minimum. Does anyone keep tangs in a 250 ? Is there any more suited for this e.I yellow ? thanks!

After 12yrs of use, I decided to retire my 120gal which coincided with my military move to West Texas (an excuse to buy a new toy other than electronics). I went with Fijicube's 108 INT full package. This journey has been a rough one (from delivery, installation and other areas, still continue...

It's been a few years guys since ive been a part of this awesome community! Quite a while ago when I made this account I had started out with a 30g glass box and quickly went to a 55G and even more quickly to a 75g. That tank stuck around for some years with always wanting to go bigger in my...

Hello all, I have a 280 gal DT with a 60 gal sump. I have a velvet outbreak lost some fish. I have setup a QT's purchase new fish and qt them with 30 days copper and prazi treatment. The DT was fallow for 89 days. So i assumed that the parasite have died/starve due to no fish being present...

So I have a flame fin tomini tang right now which is very peaceful and non-aggressive to my fish. He's been in there several months. I have a powder brown tang and a purple tang on the way. Do you think these will get along with each other? The tank is a 125 gallon, six feet long by 18 inches...

Hello everyone, I just wanted to share this simple project with the DIY people who either like to do their own builds or are on a budget. I’m going to show you a DIY grazer feeder I made for my tang and angelfish and give you instructions on how I put it all together. I was looking on Amazon...

Been in the reef tank world since 2016 started with a 35g mix reef then moved up to a 90 about a year later, I’ve had my fair share of ups and downs , crashes , reboot restart you name but hey I love it man!

I have had a tomini tang and yellow mimic tang for awhile and have been feeding them dryed nori and even my cb angel eats it. I recently set up my fuge with sea lettuce and it’s growing great! I put some on my algae clip in the display and no one will even look at it. I usually feed enough not...

Wondering what combination of tangs I could put in my 6ft 125g? Below are my favorites: Lemon mimac-acanthurus Purple tang-zebrasoma Kole tang Lavender tang Currently housing : Maroon clown Firefish Spotted hawkfish Lawnmower blenny

I,ve had my purple tang for around 2-3 months at this point and he’s never had any markings out of the ordinary on his skin before. around a week or so ago he has shown a weird white patch in front of his rear fin on both sides of his body. no other fish are showing any discolouration or...

Hi, I bought a baby gold rush tang on Saturday, when introduced the tang decided it wanted to hide by my very territorial clownfish pair. This inevitably led to it getting a few nips and it zipping away into the rock structures. I haven't seen it come out since apart from one very brief sight a...

Hi, My freckle face tang has been acting very reserved and not eating much the last couple of days. Very different to what she’s normally like. Today, I noticed this mark on the side of her body. Can someone tell me what is it? A bite mark? Or disease? I have my suspicions that it might be...

Curiosity question here. Do the tomini and kole tangs darken in color with age or is it just random special variation? I’ve seen tominis with a pale grayish colored body and then ones almost black. A similar thing seems happens with the koles with that light orange color in the body to a deep...

I’m looking for some stocking advice as I work towards a 200g build. In my old tank things were simple- 2 clownfish, one burrowing goby, one yellow tang, etc. One fish or pair of each type. However many fish descriptions state “only 1, unless kept in a large tank.” Like gobies etc. Which begs...

Hey everyone! I got a hippo tang in qt in copper. Wondering anyone advise against that? I heard of some of these guys getting HLLE from it? It’s eating well and lot of Nori, also swimming around too. Also I plan to do freshwater and Methylene blue dips.

Good Morning. I have has this blue tang for some time, at first when he was younger I thought these marks were his nostrils but now I see them quite strange, does anyone know if this is normal? I have more tangs and this is the only one that has this kind of marks, I also have to say that...

Hi guys I currently have a 4ft 165 gallon(DT Volume) tank (4'X2.5'X2.5') and would like to purchase a convict tang. I'm not sure if I'll be overstocking my tank or if the tank is too small for an adult sized convict tang. I'd like to hear other's experiences with convict tangs and their usual...

My tangs are itching like crazy and are starting to get blotchy. I stopped feeding nori for a couple weeks to try to encourage them to eat off of the rocks however I just started them back on it a few days ago. Can anyone tell me what my problem is? My house was also just painted a few days ago...

Hello everyone! I have a juvenile Bristletooth Tomini Surgeonfish I recently acquired. He picks at hair algae on my rocks all day long and eats my Piscine Energetics mysis shrimp and San Fransisco Bay brine shrimp no problem. I tried Julian Springs red and green seaweed in a veggie clip for him...

Hey folks, 125 g dt with pair of clowns, banggai cardinal, bluestreak goby, scopas tang, and purple tang. Check out the video of my tangs breathing. Are they breathing heavy/rapid? or normal? They breath like this all the time and have since I got them (a month ago), but it just seems more...
