Hallo forum.
I'm sitting across from the Red Sea Reefer 350 in my living room, rock for it is going to be going through a bleach cure tomorrow or the next day, and I'm STILL planning fish.
The RSR350 is 4ft long, 73 gallon display vol, 91 gallon total system volume
I have a Bubble Magus Curve 5 skimmer, will be setting up a refugium.
I'm planning on a sand bed and corals (probably softy/LPS heavy, might try some SPS depending on how I feel)
I'm currently thinking a couple clownfish, a blenny (lawnmower, tail spot, bicolour?), maybe a goby (I have two other reef tanks so I might just stick to gobies in those), royal gramma, a couple of bangaii cardinals, and some wrasse (I haven't even started whittling down the wrasse list yet)
That's 5/6 or 7 fish + however many wrasse.
I'm looking at a scarlet/flame hawkfish, side-eyeing one of the small angelfish, with some uncertainty because of their coral nipping.
But my question is in regards to a tang.
I'm looking at the small bristletooths. bristleteeth? kole, silverspot, white tail or tomini?
I know there's a lot of controversy over tangs and tank sizes, but I'm comfortable with a tang of that size being happy in the RSR350.
My question is, will this tank with the above projected stocking, support two of those tangs? eg, a tomini AND a kole, kole AND a white tail. I've read that they can be aggressive to conspecifics and similar shapes, but I've also read that they're not as bad as some of the other tangs, and that there are measures you can take to reduce aggression between them.
Appreciate any input, mostly on the tangs, but if you have thoughts on the rest of the stocking I'd be happy to hear them.
Also, if anyone has the RSR350 (original), what you keep in it? I've Googled, but it was unfruitful.
