Tangs

[drdude05]

I am wanting to replace the PBT that I lost after my tank crashed several months ago, and am doing some research. At the moment I have a Flame hawk, a foxface rabbitfish, and three Ocellaris clowns in a 180 gallon tank with a 60 gallon sump voulme (total volume of 240 gallons). I am looking at a:
Powder blue tang
powder brown tang
purple tang
maybe a sailfin tang

What I am thinking of doing is placing an order with marine depot as the tangs at my local shops look like crap and are horribly overpriced for size and coloration (or should I say lack there of). Which would be good additons and ship better?

I'd go with the sailfin and purple....of your choices.

The others I think are more prone to disease and or harder to keep!

Although I love the Powder Blue most of all you selected!

Yeah, I loved that fish too. It was one that happend to be a "diamond in the rough" at the local fish shop. I felt physically ill the day I had to fish him out of the tank.

Ooh, I love the sailfin and powder blue,... my two fav's. The Powder blue can be hard to get to eat and do well, most people I have talked to have lost one or two before they get one to survive, but it is one of the coolest tangs out there IMHO.

The sailfin (Especially the red sea sailfin) is my second fav, and it almost always does well without any major trouble.

At the moment I am leaning towrd rolling the dice on another PBT from marine depot ... they have small ones for $58 and medium for $69.
