Can I put tangs or triggers in a 4' 120gal tank? I keep reading you should have a 6' 125gal tank, but I was wondering if I could create a rock mountain in the middle of the tank so there would be room to swim all the way around the outsides of the tank. I don't want to put anything in an...
Did a water change last night, and doing again tonight.
Temp is regulated with a cheap heater. The house is about 70 and my cheap lights don't really put off much heat. Just using 20K fluorescents in a cheap hood.
On a bright note, the trigger fin appears to be magical. I watched it for 2...
sorry, should have been more clear. tank had fish in it when we purchased it, the 2 damsels came with the tank. we are buying water from our LFS at a sg of 1.023 because we have to purchase RO/DI water anyway and its consistent.

We ended up taking the Damsel out last night, actually. We couldn't stand to watch the Huma get beat up on like that. All balance has been restored in the tank. Thanks for your advice!!
I need some quick advice. The LFS guy said our tank would be fine to add a Huma Huma to it however, our 4 stripe Damsel is nipping and pushing like you wouldn't believe. We just added the Trigger - 30 mins ago - will this stop should we take the Damsel out? Help! We don't want to lose the...
