Hi all -
So my current tank is a 46 gallon bowfront (take a look by clicking on my build thread badge!), and I’ll be upgrading soon to an 80 gallon 48” long x 24” wide x 16” tall tank. My plan is to have it aquascaped a little more open than my current tank so there is more open swimming room. Corals are mixed reef, with the majority being LPS and softies. I also have a BTA. The only current fish inhabitants are a pair of small occy clowns and a bicolor blenny, so I’ll have a bunch of room to play with.
My main goal with the tank upgrade is to keep a yellow tang, so a Biota captive bred YT is definitely on the list. I love the look and behavior of a Melanarus wrasse, so I’m thinking that will be on the final list also. Other than that, my options are open. Another small tang or two would be really cool, but not a necessity if that would be too tight. Ideas/recommendations?
