LF - Small/Medium Regal Tang - Edmonton

[Fox]

I feel like I should be apologizing for where this thread has gone...It was not my intent to discredit anyone (LFS or otherwise), only to say my experience on that particular day. In all honesty it was a bad day for me in general which was why I was there in the first place...it was suppose to cheer me up. So my opinion was bias.

I really enjoy going to Aquarium Illusions and I encourage others to check it out.

When I researched the Regal Tang I found many sites that said the "minimum" size of the tank should be 75 gal. So when I had a friend offer me his 75 gal tank and custom stand for free (he now has a beautiful 200 gal), I figured this would be my chance...The fish I was looking at was no more than an inch big and should have done fine until I could get a proper filter for the 75 and if a further upgrade is necessary in order to keep my fish happy, then I have no issues doing that.

Its not my intent to buy small fish and force them to live in a tiny environment. I enjoy this hobby and I would like to think the fish I have are very happy in the tanks I have them in. I like to think that I keep good tanks and while I am a novice in saltwater, everyone has to start somewhere.

Anyway I just wanted to say that I was sorry if I offended anyone.
