It is interesting how the Acanthurus pyroferus sometimes is deep yellow and sometimes is almost transparent

Feeding time - the purple glowing stuff are food particles glowing under UVs

common Zoanthids - with proper care and good lighting become awesome

Meet the new member of my tank- Acanthurus pyroferus. He is a tiny, happy fish

Considering all pros and cons of different tangs, this weekend went to a shop and picked up this guy - lemonpeel mimic tang. Even if not too much info available (comparing with other tangs) - seems that is hardy, less aggressive and quite a beauty in juvenile stage and adult as well; 3 days in...

Thanks for advices. I balance between powder and mimic tangs. Only one for sure. Even if mimics are not as colorfull as powder seems that are hardier and less aggresive. Will take a trip soon to a shop and see. If not will go to another shop [emoji39] Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

thanks again Dave, I know powder blue tangs are awesome, but difficult and aggressive; Actually what I am looking at is either a powder brown (japonicus) or a mimic lemonpeel tang (forgot the latin name). But on mimic tang info is scarce and contradictory; Some say 75g others 120g or more;

Dave, all I want is one tang. The thread you recommended talks about 2 tangs in 75 gallons; I would love an Acanthurus but question is if it is OK in it. Here is a photo on my tank and how rocks are placed. Flow in tank is around 60x the volume if important

Reading various forums and threads around web seems that Mimic Lemon Peel Tang is a good candidate and looks awesome as well. Opinions??

Thanks Dave, interesting thread, indeed; but there is written something like... "in most reef tanks in the 75 - 100 gallon range you can keep two tangs in the 7' - 10" adult size range without too much problem if you mix the genus properly. Anything under 75 gallons and 48" or longer can...

I have a RS 350 reefer, around 2 years old, but recently lost most of fishes :(. Getting back with stock - now I have a copperband butterfly, a cinnamon clown and a green chromis - all doing great and happy; I am considering adding a tang, but info on internet is confusing - for same tang...

Didnt saw this guy since almost an year as is probably nocturnal and stays hidden during day, but man it is huge :) . Since put in tank, only sign that is still alive were the molts from time to time. Can be added to the useless stuff bough for my tank list :)

And some full tank shots - still not all corals recovered from the apocalypse, but I am on the right track. All parameters are OK except PO4 still higher than should (0.10 range)

looks like zoas loosing the battle - those on left are mostly closed

Thinking to start feeding corals and fishes in a better way.... Curious about results;
