I finally got the green light from the wife to upgrade to a larger tank!
While browsing in the LFS the other day she spotted the tangs and said "I want one of those". Of course we can't keep a tank in the 30 gallon cube, so I used the opprutunity to play this one to my advantage! I explained we could have a tang, once we got a 50+ gallon aquarium. Seconds later she said then get a 50 gallon tank!
The real question here is can I "really" keep a tang in a 50 gallon (36x15x20)? I know I could, but should I is the better question.
I have no live stock right now, the only other fish I plan to add would be a couple clowns and some inverts.
Next question... what's the opinion on the SeaClear 50 gallon (Not a System II) - Just the tank itself? I can get one of these from PetSmart for $200.
I am use to glass aquariums. I've always had glass and love my Oceanic but the SeaClear's look really nice in my opinion. Are these decent tanks?
I'm already planning what additional dry goods I'll need for the 50 gallon. I think I'm pretty much set with LR and my skimmer. I'd just need to upgrade to a 36" PC light. I think this is the perfect time to upgrade as well, since I don't have any live stock to contend with right now.
So... thoughts... suggestions? Thanks!
