Should naso's be added last in a 210?

[The Saltman]

Hi guys,

I'm going to be stocking my 210 with fish. I plan on having a yellow tang and a naso tang. Should both the tangs be introduced at the same time? Or should the naso be introduced last of all my fish? This tank is going to be a reef.

My Naso doesn't pay any attention to any of my other tangs. I have a yellow, purple and powder blue. Different body type so you should be good.

Either both at the same time or go Naso last...I would always put in an Acanthurus Tang last (IMO, Acan. are typically more aggressive), but without one put whichever will get the largest in last.

i dont think you'd have a problem adding them both at once.

Niether of those tangs are Acanthurus

So.... either way will be fine, yellow first, or naso first. If they're the first fish into the tank, however, I would definitely only add 1 at a time till the tank adjusts to a bioload.

Doesn't matter. Both fish are relatively easy going and in a 210 will have plenty of space to clear out.

It is my experience that Nasos pay no attention to other non-Naso Tangs. Similarly, my Yellow Tang pays no attention to the Naso.

The Yellow Tang does NOT appreciate all the other Tangs in the tank, however.
