[kangadrew]

What size tank would the following fish need?:
-Blue tang
-Flame angel
-Black ocellaris clown
-Orange ocellaris clown
-Purple firefish
-Sailfin tang
-Coral beauty
-4 Bartlett's anthias (3 female 1 male)
-3 pyjama cardinals
-Diamond head goby
-Leopard wrasse
-Copperband butterfly
-Foxface
-2 Squarespot anthias (1 female 1 male)
-Mystery wrasse
-Naso tang

In addition, inverts:
-Snails (3 turbos, 15 nassarius, 15 cerith, 15 astrea)
-25 blue leg hermits
-3 red leg hermits
-Cleaner shrimp
-Coral banded shrimp
-Black longspine urchin
-2 Emerald crabs
-Fire shrimp
-Blue maxima clam

And the corals would be a mixture of SPS, LPS, and softies. A nice mixed reef.
Thanks!

A 300+ gallon tank should do it,

But the Flame angel and coral beauty aren't %100 reef safe.

Probly a 5footer or at least a 4

I shld say the bigger the better... water quality is gonna be an issue is too small of a tank

 

[zoobie88]

Yes I would say 5 or 6 foot tank for sure. I have had good luck with flames not messing with coral but there is always a chance.

 

[Jeff4777]

He listed a blue, salfin, naso tang.. so yeah it needs to be minimum 6 foot for starters..

At least a 180. 240 is better.

 

[kangadrew]

I was thinking a 240. No way a 4-5 footer would work. I listed a naso tang in there.

Min 240 gallon, 8ft tank.

Min 240 gallon, 8ft tank.

+1. I don't know where the 4ft estimates are coming from, but the Sailfin, Blue and Naso all need an 8 ft tank minimum. http://www.reefcentral.com/forums/showthread.php?t=1946079 and that's not even considering there's 3 of them.

That was the original plan. Thanks! Oh, it would have a 29 gallon fuge and a 55 gallon sump. Total volume of system is now about 330 gallons by the time plumbing is accounted for as well as everything else. Account for displacement it's about 300 gallons. A lot of water volume to displace the bioload.

I doubt 3 of them would affect it. The need for a large tank is more because of the naturally massive territories they have - and the fact that they are almost always swimming. Not to much because they are large fish. Although they definitely are larger fish.

8ft would be ideal, a 7ft 265g would work too

Yeah, I saw plenty of people keeping 3 tangs, sometimes even that exact combo, in a 265. I like the 240 better though I think.

240 should be fine for those 3 tangs. Sounds like it's gonna be a pretty cool tank.
