sdguy - very nice tank

mkbtank - that Sohal is beautiul! Looks huge!

i think this thread need some advertising. Maybe you could help out here reeftanks6 on your build thread?

LOL I have been advertizing it alot--anytime a person asks a question about a tang I refer them here. Its also good to refer people to when they are asking what size of tank they should have to keep a specific species of tang

the best advertising is to keep up the posts because the thread is shown again in the daily and new posts searches.

Sohal
2-3 years old
had him for a year
He is in my 180
He is 10 inches at least
Eats out of my hand

I assume that is a typo --did you mean 280 gal as listed in your signature.
I ask this because in a year or so upgrading will become an issue for me and am wondering what size to go up too eventually

 

[mkbtank]

280 gallons total water volume, with the sump and fuge. Maybe I should change the signature.

Go as big as you can fit!! - (It will save another upgrade later on)

My wife always jokes that I need to put in a glass floor and fill the basement with water for my next upgrade.

as the story goes there is a guy in Toronto that build his house around a 50,000gal circular tank in the middle of it
I have heard the story many times but I still can't substantiate it even with running a thread here
If it is true--wow--can you imagine watching the superbowl surrounded by 50,000 gals of swiming tangs--kinda like that Telus commercial:lol:

Awesome Tangs Everyone....Naso is my Favorite

I've got a 2-1/2 - 3" naso in QT right now. I wasn't going to get a tang for my 75 but I couldn't resist him. He was the smallest naso I've seen and he looked so sad in the 10 gal at the LFS. He looks a little thin at the moment but he's been eating like a hog. I hope he fattens up like some of the other beautiful Naso tangs I saw here.

Thanks! Yes, they are very beautiful!

Well, I've had the tank up and running for about 2 years now, and about 7 months ago I decided to totally change my stocking. I sold my old fish to some locals and added the PT in September. Its about 4-5". It came from two reefers before me, so this is its 3rd tank. Very hardy fish.

The Sohal I bought in November. Its about 5". It was brought into a LFS, then went to a locals tank (75 gallon) and was a terror. The person brought it back to the LFS and it sat there for about 6 months.

It eats like a pig though. I keep feeding it more and more and I can already see why people say they grow fast. Its aggression is also growing and it has assumed the dominant position in the tank. I added new fire shrimp the other day and the Sohal made very short work of it Very mean fish, yet so beautiful!
