Aquarium Advice Activist
I think I might have made somewhat of an impulse buy at my LFS today. They had Powder Blue Tangs on sale for $34.99 and just got a shipment of them when I got to my lfs. I thought this was a great deal since the same fish costs $60 at liveaquaria plus shipping.
My tank has cycled and hs been running over a month now. I have a 75 gal bowfront with 55 lbs of lr, 60 lbs live sand, fluval 404 filter, and aquac remora pro skimmer. My ph is 8.2, amm is 0 nitrite is 0 and nitrates 10 ppm. I have 2 peps, 10 scarlet reef hermits, and 6 mex. turbos that I introduced a week and a half ago. I now also have the powder blue tang and 2 small occeleris clowns I just bought today at the lfs.
I know that the powder blues aren't the hardiest fish to start a tank with so I was wondering what some people's expreiences were with them. What foods have you had the best luck with? I was also interested in getting a yellow tang, but I now know that powder blues can be very aggressive towards them? Is a yellow tang out of the question? What other tank mates would you recommend in my tank? TIA
BTW the powder blue seems to love it in my tank and is swimming around nicely while the clowns still seem to be getting adjusted to their new surroundings.
