Fish List For My 3X2X1.5
#1
Posted 20 August 2013 - 12:31 PM
I am setting up my 3x2x1.5 as a marine tank.
I will be keeping mainly Sps with a few hammers.
Is there any tang that I could keep in a tank that size?
Cheers

most ppl crap when they hear about tangs in smaller tanks.
I have things from small powder blues, to desjardini sailfins, had a small sohal tang at one point in a 3x2x2 which seemed happy and fine.
just remember lots of nori and food to prevent whitespot

I was thinking of a small yellow eye kole tang.
Could I keep any fish on top of a kole tang?
Cheers

I have a yellow eyed kole tang, awesome fish.
I had mine in a mixed reef with clowns, wrasse, dwarf angel, hawkfish and coral banded all fine.
I found tangs can get a little narky with other tang species, especially when in smaller aquariums

I was thinking
1x Kole tang or coral beauty angel
2x ocellaris clowns
4x anthias

that'd make an for an awesome reef mix I think.
I prefer the angel over the tang IMO, just watch for coral nipping.

Unless you have top notch filtration, skimming etc, that bio load will be very hard to maintain quality SPS.
Tank that size, id max to 6 fish personally (all under the 7.5-10cm mark too)
