I have a 55 now, and I would strongly not suggest it the blueprint on these tanks are so narrow they would outgrow that tank very fast.hi i am new to reefing and i am planning on getting a 55 gallon reef tank. i am wanting to get the smallest option for a blue tang on reef beauties and also a yellow tang but i dont know if it will fit. can somebody help?
okay thank you, do you know what size i should get?I have a 55 now, and I would strongly not suggest it the blueprint on these tanks are so narrow they would outgrow that tank very fast.
For multiple tangs I would suggest a 180 or larger.okay thank you, do you know what size i should get?
tangs strongly prefer longer runs IMOok thanks so much, the problem is i have about 60 inches of space lengthwise for a tank, do you think i could go more vertical?
thanks i was also wondering if anyone knows about any good cheap places to get tanks?Ive had a kole tang in a 75 for about 9 months. He's about 4 inches and a bit chubby. At times I feel he's already outgrowing the tank, particularly when he does his territorial, dart back and forth thing. They are incredibly strong and able swimmers. And theyre amazing fish...imho Id say yeah, a 55g is fine, especially if you get a smaller kole tang. After a year or so, if you feel he's gotten too big for his environment, you can always upgrade or rehome him.
petco dollar gallon sale for a 75. not dollar a gallon but half off. you would have to DIY though.thanks i was also wondering if anyone knows about any good cheap places to get tanks?
