Naso Tang??

[TheReefGuy]

I had a naso Tang in my old 35 gallon tank and he wa a happy camper in ther then after he got over 5" i traded him for a baby naso and so on.

One more question? I know Mik_101 he is only 14 year of age I sold him a MH socket I just don't see why some of you were quit mean to him. If you ever meet him he is a very nice kid and unbelievably kind.
PS. I have only meet him once so I dont realy know him to well.

Ya im not even going to get a any tang because everyone will give me a hard time I know it they dont like me thats how I feel espetally after when they think ther getting "punked" as they call it. I feel like deleting my canreef acount but im not going to because the advice hear is unbalivable.(in the good way)

TheReefGuy, if you call 8+ pages of advice about how a tang won't do that well in a smaller tank (or not, depending on who you are), please don't misunderstand.

Everyone in this thread is EAGER to help people that are willing to ask. I'm sorry that you feel we're picking on him, but honestly - it's getting a bit tiring when you have to tell a kid to stop blowing bubbles in his chocolate milk.

Mik_101, you don't have to listen to us. Experimenting is a part of reefing but you should know that these fish are not cheap. We're all nice people here and we hope that you take our comments to heart. If I had to retract my comment about you punking us, here it is:

Please be more self-aware when 10 people give you the same advice about the same thing.

Moogled- Sorrey I did over react I do have to say that.

I have came over that I want a tang because it is true that I have to pay for everything my self so I am either going with a

Bicolor Angelfish
Lemonpeel Angelfish
Multicolor Angelfish
Pygmy (Cherub) Angelfish
Flameback Angelfish
Half Black Angelfish
One of those
In your guys opinion who would you go with and agine witch one has a smaller chanse of nipping at my corals and if they do they are going to go in my time out tank.

-mik man...when u have all those nice established sps and lps corals
surrounding ur live rock....do u really need 2 risk putting a coral muncher
in there? -as if sps corals aren't hard enough 2 maintain with light,nutrition
and compatiblility, the LAST thing u'll ever need iz a fish that likes ur corals
for there taste!

Sorry you feel this way Miki. Not sure why you would say the advice is unbelievable. I thought most of it was good and most were pretty polite. When one asks for advice on a public board, they will get all kinds of responses and have to sort the good from the bad. I hope you will stay with us, as your reef tank takes shape.

Hi Mik_101, I'm sorry if I came across harshly, it's not my intent. I just want you to be able to get all that you can out of this hobby - because there tends to be a LOT of frustration that we have to suffer just as much as all the good things; so if I can help someone avoid some of that frustration, I want to do so, because it always makes me sad to see someone quit because the hobby got overwhelming for them.

If I was in your position, I would try a flame angel. Particularly if you can find one that was collected in Hawaii because the colours are out of this world (the Hawaiian flames tend to have much more brilliant reds to them, as opposed to orange and yellows, and the striking red colour creates a bold contrast to the blues on their tails). They are all pretty however, not just the Hawaiians.

I'm afraid I can't offer much on the others you've listed as I have no experience with most of those (I've only ever kept a potter's, but I have friends who have flames and I've looked at them a lot ).

Here is a good site dedicated to info on the pygmy angels: www.centropyge.net

It lists the angels by species and gives you some to-the-point info. For example, here is the page on flame angels: http://centropyge.net/flame.html
