[twon8]

no

How is everything acting? If everyone is acting relaxed and no one is getting terrorized, and your nitrates are staying low, I would say that you're okay. JMO.

 

[rduong89]

yea they are all chill. nitrates are low. I do 10 gallon changes weekly. im considering adding a regal angel in. SMart or NO?

 

[Tangwich]

regals eventually get pretty big so this wouldn't be a permanent home for it.

 

[Packersfan21]

Regals are hard to keep and a 90 is too small for one. Your stocking list looks good as is.

 

[NyteReefer]

You have those two Hawks together? I was under the impression that a pair cannot be kept? This gives me ideas for the future.

 

[snorvich]

The regal needs more room. Other than that, your list looks pretty good. I personally would not keep a yellow tang in that size tank but it is not terrible.

 

[mflamb]

Skip the Regal.

 

[rduong89]

ok so no regal.....well i have the fish above but no yellow tang yet. i want to get a chevron though but its so hard to find one nowadays. What if no tangs and i just get the regal? =)

hawks are like clowns. They will change sex. Right now my hawks are paired up and will not split up.

I would go with (in fact I did) a Chevron tang in lieu of a yellow tank. Even skipping the tang, a regal is too large. It is not a size issue but a swimming issue as their natural territories tend to be larger.

 

[rduong89]

yea.....i am looking for a chevron but i do not see one locally.

 

[rduong89]

ok so....i have 3 zebra dart gobies, pair of longnose hawk and black ocellaris, pep. hog, mystery wraase, longnose butterfly and copperband. Will add in a chevron tang soon! i may have to get rid of one of the butterflies if not then both.

 

[Packersfan21]

I would get rid of the copperband, they are very hard to feed. The longnose can also be difficult to take care of.

 

[rduong89]

them both are fine...eating like a champ....im going to have to get rid of them because of their size....sonner or later they going to be knocking corals over.
