    I'm not going to try to make you change your mind , I just ask that you do some research about what you have and or plan to keep. It will make a big difference in the long run for you and your tank inhabitance.

    The Naso, Sailfin, and Blue tangs need at least 6' of tank for swimming room. The reccomended minimum accepted tank size for each is 180 gallons. Not to mention high bioload , stress , and potentially stunted growth and shortened lifespans.

    yeah i knew that before i bought them.again they were smaller when i got them.as far as bioload and stress goes i havent seen stress.they get along realy good and even feed together.bioload is controled by my skimmer wet dry sump,uv and and inverts i have in the tank plus i also have a magnum 350 canister running carbon i change every month.like i said i check my levels every week and its been pefect.im in the process of buying a bigger tank.im looking for a 125g-300gal.but its all on spacing in my home and funds.so more swim space and rock space can make the fish even more happy. if i hit the lotto i might just have a 1000g built.(KEYWORD)IF.LOL.but i get what your saying.thanks.
