Hi, just wondering what size tank would be ok for a med blue face angel?
Also, what are your opinions on putting one in with sps?
Thanx

My opinion is you need to give your head a shake!!

Seriously, you're tempting fate by adding an angel to SPS. Bare minimum would be a 90g, IMO.

I think a 230 is too small for a blueface

What size is the shark/diver tank at the Van Aquarium? There's a large Blue Face in there!

OK, I'll revise my opinion to more closely match this.

If you ever saw a large angel or tang swiming in the open ocean or a very large aquarium you would think they are too restricted for most home aquariums.... they can cover 6'+ in half a second
I will have an assortment of large angels and tangs in our upcoming livingroom display of 1200+ gallons and I think that is pushing it
