two tangs in a 3' tank for a couple guys......don't you feel like they are cramped a little? my 4x2x2 - 120g seems too small for my YT and BT Trigger and they are about 3" & 3.5"? Was thinking of selling the BT a bigger home.

There aint no Tang Popo around here

EDIT:

Wait Sirlight did you say 2 (Two) Vlamingi tangs...!!!

Those prefer optimal swimming room at least a 200g tank...

i am no tang police or i wouldn't have one......just asking your opinion.
But seriously 3 in a 3' tank? the valm.'s get HUGE even in a home aquarium.
Obviously it can work, i just feel thats not enough space.
Not trying to be soapbox guy, just asking.

chilly01willy: actualy the tunze is only on for 1hr then of for another. The other power head was there just to cover some dead spots I was getting but I have reajusted the seois so now I have better flow then before.

drake66: Yeah I liked the way this fish interacted with the other once in the fish store so that is why I got him. I was realy wanting to get the chevron tang but could not find one.

i bought my valmingi very small. Hes about 2" at the very most.

The other valmingi was kinda saved. Hes a little bit larger but i have a 100G FOWLR at work that he is going to be relocated to after i catch him ( hes skittish and very fast )

All my fish are loving life with how ive arraged my rocks. LOTS of swimming room, lots of places to hide.

The tunze im using a 6000 and i turned it down a little bit as the max flow piled up my sand just a little bit. Other then that im very happy with the system.

My Valmingi was such a pig he would eat out of my hand. So one day when my friend, who had a 500g tank wanted him, i caught him by hand. It is over a foot long now and really fat.
