Then you are fortunate. Your description says your "new tank" and it was added 3 years ago, so it looked like your tang was not that old. For more info about where yellow tangs come from check out "tropical fish dump prompts outrage" I've seen fish collectors with my own eyes and they walk over coral, killing it. Fish removed from the reef can no longer reproduce themselves, or clean the reef of algae, causing coral reefs to smother.
Great job on your first setup...keep you head focused and read as much as you can on this hobby, remember to always test don't guess and, be very patient that is key to this hobby. Oh, the yellow tang...great choice its a hardy fish!
you shouldnt get a tang for a new tank! they are too finicky and they will just die, you should start with damsels, clowns, blennys, or even some chromis
nice tank and all but buubles aren't good for a salt water tank so try to get rid of or stop that thing that blows bubbles, some people mat think they arent but they can get in the fisshes gills and could do harm or if you have a sponge in your tank, and the buubles go in spong it will kill it becuase once a little air gets in it it will clog up the things that let it feed and filter the water and then it will die
very nice tank. well done for the work you have put in. I'm a reefie to and would like to share a video of my tank with others. see it on here at: "marek's reef aquarium" :-)))
Just some advice you might want to adjust youre skimmer a little bit so it makes less bubbles. it dosent hurt anything, but it makes a better view without them.
Guys, i am just starting on a small marine tank. Would anyone be able to tell me if i should get a Royal gramma and Azure Damsel? Are these good starter fish? thanx
yes, i have a royal gramma and yellow tail damsel and they chase eachother around the tank taking turns every once in a while...i like the gramma better:D
i want to keep a yellow tang in my 50 gallon aquarium will it be okay because someone kept a regal tang (dory) in the same size tank can someone reply if they find out if you can keep a yellow tang if anyone does please reply
nice tank and cool clowns, their babies! how many gallons is it? And no oplkg22, i have had my tank 4 lyk 3 days and its fine, all u have to do is do lyk a 5g water change 1nc a month and mine is 75g and i do that.
I recall yrs ago with that 2 lb per gallon rule. My tank looked like a rock tank but putting thay aside slowly I went down to 1lb per gallon and the tank did great
Great looking tank . You dont need more live rock I disagree with gstpat. 1lb per gallon is enough . Otherwise you have lots dead spots and way less water. Not to mention less swim area for the fish
You are correct but according to his reply, he is 7lbs short of 1lb per gallon. I also said, it just looks like he needs more but I bet he can get away 39lbs.

Not cool. Coral reefs are being decimated by fish collecting for aquariums!
Do some research on where these live rocks come from. And yellow tangs live 5-7 years in a tank, yet they live 40 years on the reef.

@forthefishes my yellow tang is about 11 yo now and still looking healthy
