Its a 36 bow front

Im working on getting a bigger set up like a 75 gl tank . Im pretty sure my tank is kinda small for my fish , i have a yellow tang ,1 clown,1 sleeper goby,1 hippo tang

 

[mr_X]

yep...you are way overloaded. that's your problem. even a 75 is not the place for 2 tangs.

Im currently trying to get a 110gl for $200 bucks on craigslist hopefully i can get it soon

 

[mr_X]

much better!

 

[squidward]

The flow is good in the tank ,the sand bed is clean i feed flakes around 7am and like 5 pm brine shrimp every other

 

[mr_X]

feed every other day, once a day until you upgrade.

 

[squidward]

I will take your word for it . Im going to do another wc and start to feed once every other

 

[mr_X]

please hurry on the bigger tank though, for the fishes sake!

 

[squidward]

I will i been harrassing these ppl for it they wanna wait n see if someone will pay more !

just remeber doing a 50% wc will get it down to 20 so 20% will only drop it 8.the tangs will be ok as long as you keep water changes up and get the other tank.
