Quick Question

Hey all.... Just got my 140 setup going about two weeks ago and wanting to know what yall think about the amount of fish I can add.... Right now

Blk Wht Clown
Damsel
One spot Foxface
bi color
yellow watchmen
convict goby
cardinal
six line
anthias


wanting a tang maybe yellow eyed or a blue tang... what yall think

 

After only two weeks, add NOTHING. It has to cycle. How much live rock?

The other thing is to add to your bioload slowly so you don't shock the system. The bacteria take awhile to get in balance.

Patience is rule #1.

I struggle with that rule myself, but in the end patience is rule #1

Just my thoughts.

Thanks for the quick reply....all those fish are from my old tank I moved to this 140... they are doing great I have been adding tlc to the tank hopping to up my bio load.... live rock is all been cycled in old tank about 275lbs or so

 

Ahhh.. more data helped much...

I read that as adding all those fish RIGHT NOW.... going from a new tank in two weeks and then adding all that at once... oh my...

Given you are already cycled and established from another tank... Powder Blue Tang. My dream fish. I will eventually get a huge tank just so I can get that fish.

Sorry I misunderstood first time around

I remembered you and thought you knew better than that. I agree you could easily add a tang to that bio-load.

Its all good man I understand that would be crazy to add all of those would never make it when I first got in to this hobby my wife went to lfs and got me like 6 fish in one day.... never worked out i think one made it lol ... but was very sweet of her.... I would like a clown tang but they need a much bigger tank then a 140

 

Hey, I am just pleased that I finally learned enough to have at least a small clue. Sounds like you've got a nice tank going.

Someday I'll get my Powder Blue Tang... in the mean time you can enjoy one.

I vote:

Chevron tang
MarineDepot.com

Sohal tang
MarineDepot.com

Or hippo

 

I say Achilles tang
or white chick tang
yellow tang are always cool
naso tang ( blonde naso)

 

Chevron tang looks good....I think i need a bigger tank for an achilles but that is my favorite tang of all time.... I just want a tang thats rare and everyone notices when they look at my tank
