Seems everyone has enough room to swim around and is getting along just fine...
 
I have a pair of true percs, a pair of black clowns, a couple wrasses...
 
I had fish do the crazy swimming thing due to ich back in the day. I upgraded my UV and it's really improved. I also raised my temp for a period as well but doesn't seem necessary with my UV being upgr

If you get one of those tank raised blue hippos you'll be able to enjoy that tang for many years. I've seen very health tangs in a 120 setup.

Depends on who you ask. A 120 is plenty for most tangs unless it's an extremely large tang]]> Thu, 02 Sep 2010 22:10:18 +0000 http://www.utahreefs.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=42957&PID=374286&title=blue-tang#374286 <![CDATA[Blue Tang : Speaking of Blue tangs and tank...]]> http://www.utahreefs.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=42957&PID=374285&title=blue-tang#374285 Author: ninja_brandon

Speaking of Blue tangs and tank size.  What is the recommended tank size for tangs?  I currently have a 120gal Fat(not 120 long) and wondering if this is enough room for a tang?  Is is all about the tank volume or the swimming length that is the concern?]]> Thu, 02 Sep 2010 22:02:39 +0000 http://www.utahreefs.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=42957&PID=374285&title=blue-tang#374285 <![CDATA[Blue Tang : Two other hobbyists have recently...]]> http://www.utahreefs.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=42957&PID=372985&title=blue-tang#372985 Author: Mark Peterson

Two other hobbyists have recently posted about their Hair Algae problem. Please read these threads so I don't have to repeat. http://www.utahreefs.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=42989

You should know that Sea Hares are typically unreliable but great when they eat the stuff. There is a better way to control nuisance algae. The key is knowledge.

My blue tang is around 2 to 2 1/2 inches long. It's been out more the last 2 days but still is doing some jerky neurotic behavior.  The green stuff is the dreaded green hair algae. I have been combating that for awhile and I thought it was all gone so I gave my sea hare to my father in law but now it's coming back. 
I have been told that doing RO water changes is good to get rid of the green hair algae. I know that the blue tang was eating the algae because of her poops. I will look into the garlic treatment. My blue tang has had some ich before and I have been able to get rid of it.
