Critique stocking list for my 210g....please

[SDguy]

If I had a 210g tank, with open aquascaping as you mentioned, there's no way I'd pass up having a powder blue tang. Last fish to be introduced, of course.

are they as touchy as i've read? they are avsolutely beautiful

I don't think they are any more touchy than any other tang, given proper tank specs (size, water quality, flow, etc - all of which should be up to par in a properly maintained 210g reef). I think with proper quarantine, you will be successful. I had one in a FO tank many years ago. Great fish. Just my experience.

ohhh.....but i also was wondering why nexdog put they only squable with the family and then he put they harass his tangs?

Was just an attempt at sarcasm. The point is they might be aggressive but it's of no consequence as the harem works fine with the bickering. Any they don't bother any other fish.

NexDog, how long have you had your anthias? I bought 5 this week (all female) and hope one will change to a male.

I got them about 6 weeks ago. I had 6 and one died in QT in the first week but the other 5 came through. One was very sick but Formalin cured it. I should have dosed Formalin earlier and certainly will on all new fish now. The 5 are now in teh main tank and look very happy. The solitary green chromis has decided he is a Lyretail too and all six of them can be found hanging out together at various times. Very cool to watch and adds lots of life to a tank.
