Tang?
Hey I was wondering if it would be possible to keep a tang in my 32, if I get a baby? Like one that doesnt grow big, like the yellow eye tang? Ive read of someone who has 2 yellow tangs and 1 sailfin in his 55. I was just wondering?

You will get mixed reviews from different reefers, I have kept a yellow tang in my 33G it was about 2 inches, what i did is I kept a yellow in my tank with the thought that when it outgrows my tank I will upgrage, and I did upgraded to a 3 foot, 65G...I think you are ok to keep a tang as long as it is small and the bio load can be taken care of with good filtration and flow...

How long did you have him before upgrading your tank? Did he grow fast?

I had him for about 4 Months, they dont grow extremely fast, and depending on how many fish would be in the 33G he could be in one for a while.. after a big tank crash killing everything.....
 (power outage) I got a new little guy, about 2 inches in november and now he is about 3.5 inches...Where abouts are you located? just out of curiousity.... Hope that helps.. Kris

The decision is in your hands ultimately..If you are prepared to do whatever maintenance is neccisary to keep the parameters good, then I dont see a problem..Look at the tank of the month, he has a yellow tang in his tank, and I know many other reefers with tangs in a 33G-38G..
