| Scopas Tang  | Start a Fish only Ive always just wanted to have a 55 gallon tank and get a baby coral banded shark. Think that would be fine? Would i need to get another sump or would a marine land penguin HOT do decent enough filtration till i find a more 'pernament' solution? Might not do coral banded, may change mind later a little on which type of shark but i honestly love sharks and have since i was 4-5 years of age. Please help with tips comments and other recremendations.
