i was wondering if i should get a foxface or not. now the only reason i am wondering is becaues i have 4 chomis, 4 tangs( 2 blues 1 sailfin 1 purple) and a spotted mandirin and a true purcula clown. now my filtration is almost everything under the sun, i have 125 superskimmer, i run 3oz. of carbon for 1 1/2 weeks out of the month, i have a 20gallon refuge with 4 mangroves countless types of macro and the fuge has 30 pounds of miracle mud. i also have a uv make for a 500g tank and its just on my 100g. other than that i do have acros and numorus other coral and inverts. now even at 2 1/2 months i still have no nitrates. but i am still not sure..... does anyone have them in a lps/sps tank with clams? i have heard that they will somtimes nip at mantels and polyps, so i am curious.. any advice will be appriciated and sorry for the noob question. also this is a 100g tank
 
I think you are fully stocked. Once those tangs get full grown they are going to beat eachother up in that small of a tank.

What is the length of the tank? A full size sailfin tang can get over a foot long. They can also be quite aggresive to other tangs with the same body shape, ie your purple.

I would sit back and let the fish you have figure things out before adding anything new. That may take a while but there are a lot of fish added in a short amount of time.
 
well the tangs are small and i have had them for about 2 years mostly they school, they only tend to be aggressive if i forget to add nori for a day, but i do agree that once they get to there max size i will have to get rid of one of my babys :( or i could use it as an exceuce to upgrade :D but in eather case they are about 3 1/2 - 4 1/4 maybe 5in.
