Hey guys, next week my yellow tang and kole tang will be coming from Liveaquaria.com...
They will be in a quarentine for a few weeks to assure their health and all. Will a 10 gallon be a big enough quarentine. Each fish will be no bigger than 2 inches

even though they are 2 inches tangs need more swimming room. chances are they will fight in a tank that small and get really stressed. I would recommend at least a 20 gallon long at a minimum

thanks
Harry

I'd also agree on larger Q Tank, or even separate Q Tanks as they'll have a tendency to fight in a small tank. Are you eventually putting both of these in your 75? IMO, even at 2", a 75 isn't large enough to house any 2 Tangs.

I have tried to QT a couple tangs in a 10g...it was a dismal failure. Give them some space.

Do you need a strong bio filtration for a small hob filter that was runnging in the sump? because I havent prepared one yet and im planning on qt some fish tommorow
