Powder Blue Tang

[niter]

I wanted to hold off a bit longer on getting a tang being that it would most likely be the final fish but the hubby says it's time to get one. I figure I pick one out now or he'll come home with one I don't want :spin2:

We have a 150 gal tank (the deep version that has the same footprint of a 120 gal but taller water column). Originally, I wanted an Atlantic Blue Tang but I have read they are better suited for a tank that is 6" long. I do NOT want a Blue Hippo and I strongly prefer to not have a Kole or Yellow Tang (yes, I know, either of those would be an easy fit). I'd really like some contrast to rest of the fish as they are all warm colored (clowns, anthias).

Is there any huge reason NOT to get a Powder Blue Tang?

A pbt is better suited for a 6' tank as well. This fish loves to swim and get around 9-10" long

Agreed. If a kole is not in the picture, how about a Tomini?

Chevrons are nice when they are little

Major ich magnet if not quarantined. Plus it really needs at least 6ft. tank.

Thanks. Okay, so is my tank size limited to a yellow or kole tang then?

if you spend some time looking tomini tangs can be very nice. But I have also seen some that arent as nice so you need to look around.
