    Yellow tangs belong in a 4ft tank. 55g=4ft

    Q.: I have a 4ft tank, can I get a tang.
    A.: Yes, but choose only from the list of smaller tangs.
    Q.: What are the smaller tangs?
    A.: Tangs of the genus Ctenochaetus (the bristletooth tangs), the yellow tang, and the convict tang. All other tangs will require a 6ft tank or longer.

    If you wash and reuse as long as it is washed in salt water then shouldn't be a problem.

    Well im thinking if i get a warranty I'll throw out my POS biocube, sell the new one for like $250-$350, and start a new 55 gallon. only thing im worried about is if it'll be too heavy for the floor to handle. I have a TV, 2 couches, and giant fraken table with 6 chairs, and the biocube in the corner. :-/
