New to saltwater tanks!! Want some info

[Hondachico]

Just checked my water with a friends saltwater test kit and he said that I have no nitrite or nitrate and my ammonia is at 0 the only problems I have are the salinity and ph the ph is at 7.7-7.8 and the salinity is at .30, just did a partial water change and put RO in it

i agree with everyone about the sailfin it will slowly stress itself to death i learned the hard way when i was starting out my tank was 40 and i bought one but we learn from our mistakes and pass the knowledge along hoping people will use it also i highly recommend removing the 3 stripe damsel there very pretty but have high aggression and are territorial especially when introduced to the tank first which many ppl do cause its a cheap fish to cycle with but so are chromis this being said sorry for putting down your stock tank looks wonderful in any case

Thanks a lot and I know what you mean about the sailfin but I'm I'm the process of that now I'm looking for a 6 foot tank but I has been hard I found some 150 gal but they are too short in width the best one I found was a 4 foot tank by 3 foot high and 2 foot deep

And I know what you mean about the striped bit he was introduced second to last, and he is only aggressive with the other damsel

Do you guys think that a 150 gal 48in long 31in tall and 24 deep will be good enough for the tang and maybe be another tang

I would look for a 125 or larger 6' tank. The length is more important than the gallons in this case. The tangs like to swim, thus the 6' tank suggestion.
