Ok?

I just wanted to know if this would be ok for my 55g Reef. I just want to know if just 1 Niger Triggerfish & 1 Yellow Tang would be ok in a 55g, and that's it for fish. Would you consider that overstocked?...because I know these fish get big. I tried to stack the rock to where they would get a lot more swim room.

 

in my opinion it would be pushing it for the fishes comfort. online says they require a 55 gallon tank min. but i would not be comfortable putting them in a 55 gallon.

 

well people will argue w/ you on the tang, but the niger trigger is just going to get to big. Imagine being confined to a hall way where you could barely turn around in sure you could run down the hall way but.... and i know i put a sargassum trigger in my 55 but that was with a plan to upgrade, though that day never came.

 

I would say the trigger is a no go..
the tang i want to say a no go too but eh.........
many people have happy yellow tangs in a 55 without any issues. but....

 

Ohh, I'm planning to upgrade. Now...I can't say when...but I will definately upgrade. Since I already have the Trigger, maybe I'll just wait for the upgrade and then get the Tang. The new tank will be over 100g's for sure.
