No need to apologise Black Majik.I completely respect all of your opinions. I agree with the adult size (I forgot to mention these things im my post) I apologise im a bit dumb at timesI know that all Tangs need to be moved to a larger Tang when they grow but thats not stopping them from thriving in a small tank when they are juvenile. Once again, I respect all of your opinions and would like to hear them.
Please do not think my post was a aggressive reply to yours. You brought up very good points, but I believe you should have re-worded them. Such as the nutrient issue you could have stated," In an established tank the addition of a tang won't increase nitrate & phosphate levels if the tank is mature and cared for." Saying they won't have an effect on bio-load is a pretty hefty promise to tell a novice reefer. As well as the tank size. I understand your position as a aggressor towards Tang Police and that is completely fine, but the issue with saying a smaller tank is most people who have tanks may not be so willing to "upgrade" or purchase a larger aquarium to acommadate a tang's full size. By saying they can thrive in a smaller tank may give some people the wrong idea. But I am glad to see that you are bringing up these points as they are important and overlooked. Again don't perceive that post as against you just more worried about the wording. Don't worry though I too type too fast and read it after I post and realize mistakes. I'm glad though this thread is being kept alive. Keep up the good work.

Thanks black_majik. You may have to bare with me sometimes as I sometimes cant think of what to say and it comes out all wrong. I didn't take it as an aggresive reply at all, like i say I respect all of your opinions. Its people like you that keep this website helpful.

you can post about incidents in your tank, joke sometimes and even post about your love life
But two areas IMO to stay away from are threads about LFS's and the appropriate size of tanks for tangs
--they just don't seem to stay postive and civil around here

one of the forums has a message from a mod posted about not discussing tank sizes and tangs--I'll see if I can find it

Guy down the road from me has a 180.. in wall.. nice tank, but its covered in hair algae and everything else. looked nice when he set it up.. *rich* he has a unicorn tang in there *juvi*. it hasnt grown an inch in years!!!!!! he NEVER FEEDS HIS TANK at all. it finally died.. poor thing. and he did what.. went out and bought another one!
Here is a hippo we rescued from a 55 gallon tank that had nitrates off the charts. he had actually healed quite a bit in this picture as his gills were right through the sides of his gill plates...
This fish is 8-10 inches long!!! who does that???
you should get an award for saving a beautiful fish like that:smokin: :smokin:

from age 14-17 a bunch of us guys hung around this one guys house. His parents both worked and they were so liberal anyways ---that it became a drop in centre---even if you a room for you and your girlfriend. It seemed like when nothing was going on interesting you just had to drop buy that house and something would be happening
This thread is reminding me of those days T.J. it seems like this has become the hang out thread where you know there is always neat things going on
no rooms for you and your girlfriend but I would be in trouble if there were
T.J I have posted over 11,000 times and probably read 10 times that in other postings---no other thread has that honour to me:thumbsup:

we named him skeletor. lol. he actually just got sold with the 180 we owned about a month ago. IWe moved to utah and had to restart here. It took almost a year to get the gills covered back up, and it actually started coloring back in, however he will always be scarred. poor guy. he had such a great personality even after such a bad life.
