adding new fish

cycle complete
My tank has just finished cycling a few days ago and I have already put 12 turbo snails, 12 blue leg hermits. All is well and I am going to add a small coral beauty, blue tang, and a royal gamma over the next couple of days.
My tank is a 46 gallon bow with a sump and aqua medic skimmer. This is not my first tank but I have been away from a reef tank now for two years and look forward to getting after it again.

 

I would add the fish one at a time, waiting about two weeks before each other addition, and....adding the most territorial one last.

 

One more thing to keep in mind...your tang will need more than 46 gallons eventually. Blue tangs can grow upto 12-14 inches and the rule of thumb is 4-6 gallons of water per inch of fish (more-or-less).

A little info on blue tangs:
Blue Tang - Paracanthurus hepatus

The other two fish should be OK in 46 gallons of water.

 

I will 2nd SSSnakes comments. Give them a few weeks in between each addition.
