Powder blue scholl- achillies tang in pairs

[Vladis]

I hawe 117 g. Reef tank. I vonder isit posible to keep a smal scholl 5-6 of Powder blue tang togedher in same tank. No ader fish in tank just a scholl of Powder blue and some smal fish like wrass and anthias.

Option 2. Is it pasible to kip a pair of Achillies tang thugeder in a 117 g tank.

System is 4 year old SPS tank.

powder blues are pretty aggresive, i wouldnt even try it to be honest with you. plus i think your tank is a little small for that

117 G is barely big enough to fit one.

pair or school will NOT work.

I have an anchilles in my 200G 6 foot long, and I dont think any smaller tank would do.

 

[SDguy]

Is it for your tank in your signature? 1000 liters? I think that would be big enough for one or the other, individual, depending on dimensions of the tank...

I had a one achillies tang in my reef a for a 3,5 yers vith a bigg succes.
Oll my fish die . I had a bigg party at new year. Som people gat litelbit to drunk an putt a alkohol and chips in my tank. Oll fish die after a fem days.
It was a while ago.

I assume those are in cm, so inches roughly makes 78 x 33 x 30, which according to the calculator on the home page gives you about 334 US gallons. Definitely a powder blue would be fine. I don't have personal experience with achilles.

Beautiful tank, BTW.

you should get better friends. if my friends put chips and alcohol in my tank i would probably end up in prison, if you get what i mean

wow beautiful tank ! forget anchilles, show us more pics

sad to hear about the incident ! glad ure corals are ok.


are those in CM ?

so thats like 78x33x29 inch, which would mean 323 US Gallon.

Check out the DSPS tank on the large tank forum, prety hard to get a pair of anchilles that wont kill one another off. but for sure ure tank is a good size.

 

[Vladis]

Dets for sure. I almost get a hart attack. I was pist of like hell.
The persone who did that is not my frend any more.

long read, but 1350 G tank, and ALOT of failure to get 2 anchilles to live together finally !

 

[humaguy]

beautiful tank!

 

[geaux xman]

thats a very nice looking reef tank. any more pics or video?

I havent seen anyone with more than 1 powder blue in a tank(less 1000gal).

I would try a pair, but its too much trouble QT-ing. Then if it dont work out, all that effort QT-ing the fish is wasted and I would have to give the fish away.

If I get a 300+gal tank running, I will try a pair of PBT.

Maybe you can try one PBT and one achilles? I have that combination and they are doing okay(for now at least).

 

[snorvich]

Gorgeous tank! Your English is far better than my Norwegian.

 

[Vladis]

I rally greatfull for all information and help .

 

[LotsaFishies]

I have seen a couple of people manage to pull off multiple Powder Blue's before, but usually only in 200+gallon aquariums.

[randomfishguy85]

your tank is very nice. I wonder what effect the sohal would have on any attempt to add another acanthurus tang to the tank.

 

[rpjaws74]

definitely you know what your doing! but I think I agree with everyone just keeping one or the other. I would go with the achilies...
