Careful people! I think the Tang Police are monitoring this thread... hopefully they never see MY tank!
Mark & OCDP I think you guys gotta get together & smoke a fatty... then you'll both experience REAL reefing! Personally, I think I'm gonna get a Sailfin and try it in a 2g nano... I heard somewhere they're fine as long as they can turn around....  People! This is a hobby board where we ask questions and learn from each other! If we flame people AND are too sensitive to a little criticism then maybe it's time for Ritalin? You guys have a nap and get up on the OTHER side of the bed next time...  Anyways - I have had a Yellow, Purple, and Powder Blue for over 18 months... and woe is me if I dare stick my hand in the tank without food! A cleaner wrasse seems to keep them all free of parasites... but that's a whole other can of worms... *INSERTS SPOON... STIRS!!!*

A Achillies is a hard one to keep if you get them relaxed to the tank very timid.
And my Kole Tang loves to eat from the glass...

Might as well add my 2 pennies worth. I have a big a$$ Blonde Naso tang that is the only tang in my 190g and he is a pussy cat. The only thing he will eat is Nori and grape calurpa and it has to be attached to a clip - not free floating. He has never show any sign of ich or other disease and is plump and bright eyed.
I have a Hippo/Regal and a Yellow tang in my 230g - again both healthy and never a sign of disease. I had a Kole tang in this tank as well but unfortunately he perished for unknown reasons. I am sure it was not ich as no other fish in the tank got sick. The Hippo just cruises the length and of the tank (fast) and likes to splash me when I am sitting at the computor beside the tank. The yellow is a mean SOB and has killed a very weak Moorish Idol that I was talked into taking and tried to kill the one I still have in my 190g. My dream tang would be an achilles but if I get one it will be only after I have a well established quarentine of a suitable size set up as from my research they are almost guarenteed to get ich. As for the previous discussion I have to admit that when I first started reading the thread Scott I must say you did sound a bit defensive but hey we have all been there. I think that Johnny Reefers point regarding the anemone was what would you have done if after agreeing to purchase the anemone and arranging for delivery (or pick up) and found that you were unable to house it properly? I commend you for doing research as that is more than a lot of people do and I am sure your intentions are very good. I think the point is to research before you make a commitment to purchase. Enough said.
