I'm new to your channel so it was really cool to have you go back and explain how you got your tank to the way it is today. Obviously Alot of heart and dedication! I love it!

Scott, I've been following your channel for about a year and a half now and it's great to see how the tank has evolved. Everything has grown and filled up nicely. It really is a mature, well established tank now. It must be very rewarding to just sit back and enjoy.

Great video - I really love the story behind the tank you have. It's an awesome example of hard work and dedication, very impressive.

I enjoy your videos Scott...I myself have taken your advice with your try and errors and have successfully added all the tangs I want in my reef tank just recently. I initially had just a yellow tang. I added a blue hippo and the yellow tang stressed it out and it didnt make it. Next time I added a yellow eyed kole. Then I QT another medium hippo I got. And then I got a purple tang and added the purple and blue hippo together once they were QT for 1-2 months. I added them at night just like you did and they got along except for the occasional fin slapping.. Thanks for your videos and uploads. Love it!

You tank is insane I’m still in the research faze of saltwater fish keeping You are an Inspiration and I appreciate your videos Immensely thank you

Great video Scott and I love the results because the tank is stunning. How could I not like it you have my favorite tang of all, the Powder Blue. Looking forward to more updates.

I have a 125 gal tank. I have a 5in Purple Tang, 4in Yellow Tang, 3.5in Yellow eye Kole tang. theyve been in the tank for 3 weeks or so. Then I added a 4in Naso and 3.5in Yellow Mimic. The YT went batcrap cray cray over the mimic! Beat the crap out of it in about an hour. I removed the mimic to another tank. the other 4 get along GREAT! Ive found that keeping plenty of nori on a clip keeps them occupied. The mimic is doing gret in the other tank. Tang aggression is NO joke! In the main display, I also have a 5in Niger Trigger-GREAT fish, a Dragon Wrasse, Falco Hawk, Blue spot puffer, Bi-color Blenny, Pink Pseudochromis. And harmony in the tank. The yellow tang squares off on the trigger fish, but the trigger doesnt care....Love that trigger.

Great video Scott. getting away with as many tangs you have took some planning and luck. it's great that they're all getting along together with minimal aggression. great job bro.

Awesome thank. Amazing how you have the tangs peaceful like this. Subbed

Great story. I hope it works out in the long run because these are really cool fish you have.

Very good video. I have all different 5 tangs in my 120g. Every body during great.

Really great video. Truly an inspiration.

love this story of the Tangs!

Awesome video Scott!

Easiest way to have multiple tangs together that are same type is to add them ALL at the same time. I have done this many times and it has always worked. Most people make the mistake of adding one after one is already established. Of course it's not a guarantee but it's the best success I have had when mixing. Also when doing so have a mirror on one side of the tank. Instead of the "bully" (if one of them is) going after the other tang they will usually go after their reflection since it can't run away. They will spend a ton of time trying to bully themselves and that will typically make the aggression towards the other tang die off. In the end it's a gamble. You need to be willing to remove one of the tangs if they can't get along. Also it's very common for them to flair fins and chase at the beginning figuring out whos boss. This can take anything from minutes to a few days. Just have to make sure one isn't actually getting hurt. If one is getting hurt you need to get it out.

omg, marine velvet in your new Chevron tang... that hits deep

Tank looks amazing, bro. Definitely my dream tank

Absolutely brilliant

great video like always keep them coming

Naso, Tomini, Yellow, and 2 Sailfins. 180gal/40gal sump. No stress. Only going on a little over 6 months though. Love your tank Scott, your fish, your coral, it's a work of art my friend. I want an Achilles Tang more than anything. I keep eyeballing a purple tang at the LFS, $180...i think my bioload is maxed lol. Take care.

absolutely stunning my friend!

great vid even better info! I'm really starting to get into the tangs myself. I'm very glad you made this vid and i watched it now i know i shouldnt get a yellow tang seeings is how i have a scopas. thanks again plz keep up with the great vids!!

Great video Scott. I have three tangs in my tank, a yellow, a Pacific Blue, and a yellow eye Kole. All get along real well. In the overall scheme of things the Kole tang is pretty much a cow. It spends all day slurping algea off the rocks and glass. The yellow tang is more like a social butterfly at a party. It swims around the tank picking here and there but mostly feeds off an algea clip. The PBT is pretty much everywhere is a juvenile fish and is pretty much everywhere.

You are my favorite KZfaq Reefer to watch, hands down! I love researching everything online on my own...but I have learned a ton from you, so thank you! I recently upgraded to a 75 gallon, I have 2 Clowns, a Yellow Tang, and a Yellow Eye Kole Tang...I would really love to get a Purple Tang. If it were you, would you attempt that?

Awesome video!.. I too have a multi tang tank that I bought used with the live stock already in it... My XL purple tang is def the alpha and is a bit of a bully... I do have a yellow tang and he and the purple tang do get in little scuffs here and there but nothing major... always watch them when I feed them to make sure they don’t get out of hand... love my purple tang so if it comes down to it I’ll trade my yellow tang in a heart beat... but so far so good... thanks for the info!!!

That's one hell of a battle! But it's all worth it in the end. I'm doing the same thing except with all Leopard wrasse and a few other types of wrasse. So far im at 2 leopards, 2 black leopards, 1 yellow coris, 1 cleaner wrasse and today i added 1 male ornate. Im hopeful that they won't kick his ass because he has about an inch on them. Anyways great job. Love the video's. You're tank is looking great as always.

Tank looks great man

Its great to see the tank evolve

great video

Damm everything is looking really good

Love the info. I can't imagine putting for or 5 at today's prices lol.

I have an Achilles in QT#1, an Chevron in QT#2, and a Purple in QT#3 right now and a Clown Tang coming tomorrow. Hoping to get them all into a 150gallon this week. Thanks for the tip.

I just added a scopas tang to my 125 gal yesterday which already had a yellow tang & sailfin tang in it and all hell broke loose. My sailfin didn’t really care for some reason, I’m guessing because he’s clearly bigger than both and they don’t mess with him but my yellow tang and scopas were going at it all day. I thought I would have to get rid of one but thankfully today the fighting has stopped and they were even sharing a piece of nori, no more tail whipping. Hopefully it stays that way!

if you do want to add a tang of the same gene. u put them in a quarantine box in the tank and u leave them for a 1-2 weeks and u let it out

First you named your yellow tang "Pinky" , clearly you'd never seen the movie Next Friday! But, with that said, had to subscribe! Looking to do a Large Tang Tanks soon......

nice video

i love saltwater tanks, great video. my fav. fish is a Moorish Idol, but iv had no luck in keeping them.

Hi Scott, I am looking at getting a second tank after my 50 gallon starter reef tank. U have always been amazed by different varieties of tangs and have not had the room in the tank. The 50 gallon has been up for about 2 years now and is thriving with about the max livestock that i can fit, along with my prized derasa clam. Because i really trust your advice due to your channel, I was wondering what size of a tank and/or what types of equipment that you would recommend to me. I was also wondering how tank transitions work as in transfering the livestock between tanks. Though none of my current fish are not aggressive, I am worried about how they will react to new and possibly much bigger fish. Thanks in advance and I love your channel. Keep up the good work!

Good video, brother! When I bought my 180, it came with a scopas and I already had a yellow and I just knew there was going to be trouble haha... well, sure enough the scopas chased around the yellow, but I let it go on for 3 days and then it just abruptly stopped and they've been best friends ever since! It didn't go that well with my current foxface lo and the new magnificent, though... :( I had to move the magnificent to the 75

Great video man. Love the look back with the old videos. Do you archive all you videos on your computer?

looks great

Thank you for the video. Great video! Can you describe what you feed them and how often do you feed them?

Amazing tank! I’m starting my 120 and I would love to have some tangs! Can you help me with the QT processes? Thanks

The first rule of keeping multiple tangs, is you don’t talk about keeping multiple tangs

Lookin good Scott. We currently have a Naso, Sailfin, and Hippo in our 500gal and I really wanna add a Sohal or Clown surgeon. The tangs in there are highly established and hang with our two Watanabe angels and the foxface. I dunno if adding something of that caliber could cause bickering or not...

I have found that if you want multiple tangs you have to disperse the aggression, instead of adding one yellow tang ,add Three. They will school. If your existing tangs are really large and you already have multiple Tangs, add a really small tang.(too quick to catch) if there is tension between two tangs use a laser pointer to break up the tension. I have 4 Yellow Tangs X-large now, 1 x-large Achilles Tang, 1 X-large Powder Blue Tang, 1 Regal Tang small, and1 huge Moorish Idol. I have had these fish for 3 years and longer with very few problems. This is not to say there aren't occasional spats. However it is usually over food and it is short lived. Its like the bully on the playground, if your the new kid, your fair game. They will sense weakness. However, if you go to the playground with three of your big brothers the bully likely isn't going to mess with you. The sizing of new fish is important also. If your existing Yellow tang is medium sized, then you should put in several Yellow tangs that are much larger. Yellow Tangs in nature are a schooling fish. Acclimation boxes are a great tool to add Tangs if your worried about fights( Cricket box and magnet cleaner)

Vlamingi is literally so gorgeous omg 😍😍😍

OK sounds good

Hello, I was wondering if have any advice for me trying to fit 11 tangs in a 96X30X30, 350 gallon tank, most of the tangs I want are what to be know very aggressive. Achilles tang, powder blue/brown tangs, blonde Nash tang, clown tang, blue hippo, yellow tang, purple tang, scope tang, sailfin tang, whitecheeck tang. The blue, purple, blonde Naso, yellow tangs I already have, and they get along OK with each other. They are in my quarantine tank right now, I just finished keeping my main display tank fallow, ( ick problem) and ready to put the fish back in, but I was wondering if I'll but the rest of the fish that I like and put them all in at same time. What do you think about it?

Gorgeous tank. I really like all your tangs. I only have an 80 gallon, so I am trying to decide if I want a tang at all. The eat a lot and grow quick. I have a Foxface that has gotten too big. When I get him out, I will be looking to replace him with something. I had a Pacific Sailfin when I first set up my tank and I loved him. I am thinking about a Yellow Eye Kole, but am not sure. Do you think my tank it too small for 2 tangs? If you had to pick only 1, what would it be?

Hey! I know this is a pretty old vid but i recently picked up a naso tang and he has a growth right before/on the dorsal fin. He didn’t have it when i purchased him and i have no idea what to do for it. It doesnt look like ich. Thanks :)

great video and a beautiful set up.. thanks for all the information..im new to salt water after working my way up from a 6 foot ciclic tank..i have a 275 gallon tank with a baby port Jackson, two lions, tomato clown, leopard, sail fin tang and emperor..the emperor is new and within a week he has white spots..been reading copper treatment is best..cant catch it so need to treat my whole tank? would greatly appreciate your advice..thanks

This video gave me so much motivation, I had a 29 gallon set up then purchased a 90 and while I was setting it up my 29 got marine velvet first time experiencing it and didn't act fast enough. So I slowed down I currently have a pink skunk clown pair 2 percula clowns and a lunar wrasse in my tank. I will be setting my 29 gallon up as a quarantine for when I purchase more fish tangs in particular. Just wondering what you opinion is on having a whitetail Bristle tooth tang, a tomini tang and a purple tang in my 90 gallon tank. I have plans on upgrading again but that wouldn't be for 2 years as I want to do as much as I can with my 90

Achilles Tang are my favorite.. could one of those fit in your tank?

One could get lucky and have one yellow and purple tank living together peacefully

similar to agressive cichlids its trial and error unless you overstock to the point in which they are too stressed to fight

I watched your video on your 210 with tangs. I was wondering if you could give advice on my school tank. I have a 150 gallon which I allow extra swimming room for tangs. I have a 1 inch blue tang which qted and 1 1/2 inch yellow which also was qted. I have a 2 inch yellow eye Kole and dijadini salfin tang in quarantine right now. How can I add a purple tang. I would like one but how when should I add the rest? That is not in the display tank. Blue and yellow are in there right now. How should I proceed? Thanks for your help!

Hey Scott, quick question: I just purchased a tomini tang today, and waiting for a yellow eye Cole tang in the next few days. The tomini is already in my 30 gallons QT and the Cole is going in there as soon as it arrives. They ll b spending a month there and then going in to the DP where my yellow tang is expecting them. So, they will b introduced at the same time in the DT but they will have to spend a month together in th QT. Do u see any problems there? I think both of them are acanthurus, right? Thank you in advance and most of all, thank you for all the inspiration and legit info you provide us with!

Please guide on adding fish order please. Iam setting up a 180gallon tank with minimalist rock structure. Similar to luo's reek tank. Sump is 65 gallon with brick media.. skimmer and refug. I want to keep 2 sets of clown fish occerlaris pair and black ice pair. Blonde Naso , powder blue,yellow, regal, one bristletooth(either 2 spot or sqaure tail)(maybe sailfin or not if advise). And six line, red coris and a pair of leopard wrasse. 2 or 3 blue green chromis. A foxface. A schooling banner. I like my wrasse and tangs very much. Please advise the order/method to put tanks. I plan to get small or juvenile if possible. Also please any utilitarian fish would be appricated.

your welcome we should get together and go to boulder and check out the shops what do you think

What are the dimensions of a 210? If you dont mind me asking.... I am wanting to upgrade my 125 due to I took in some more tangs from some one who took down there set up and now I'm at 11 :/. Including 2 Foxfaces and 2 Dwarf angels and of course Clowns.

Hey, I was wondering if you could help me out with what I could stock my tank with. It's a 125 with 145 lbs of live rock (mostly Fiji rock but some tonga). Right now I have 1 purple fire fish, 3 occelaris clowns (the 4th clown got ganged up on). Then I have one hoevans wrasse. I was thinking of getting a blue hippo, a desjardini, and a yellow eye kole tang. Thanks

Hey for velvet/ich chloroquine Phosphate if treatment is needed asap, that way you don't have to wait for copper to get up to therapeutic levels over days, only problem is it does require a prescription. they do sell on ebay(seller Pro_Corals) wtihout a script which I have tried recently with fish that were infested with velvet and it did work since then I got a script for it!

Do you think that a kole yellow eye and a mimic lemonpeel would do well together in my 150 gallon?

bit of a rule breaker hey scott haha amazing tank. I have 3 tangs together don't think I could push for another. Do you follow the 1 gallon per inch of fish rule or do you have you own 'stock' rule?

Terrific video AND tank! What are the dimensions of the 210?

i am setting up a new 250 gallon. i was thinking of putting 3 to 5 yellow tangs in there in the same time. Do you think it's possible?

I’m new and just bought the same tank as you Naso tang, purple tang, yellow tang, white tail tang, blue hippo.... is what I have now. My sons blue hippo is out growing his tank. Would you add it to the 210? I also have a Sargassum Trigger, 4 bar gobies, 3 Bartlett Anthias, Flame Angel, Midas Blenny, cleaner Wrasse, (other small) wrasse Just based on your experience. My tank looks a bit crowded but everyone seems to be doing well.

hi scott, I got another question for you i have a tank that is 2.9 feet (75g) do you think i can have another tang in it with my yellow eye kole tang? great vid btw

I have a pupletang,yellow tang ,sailfin tang ,powder blue, powder brown, chocolate tang some tang I have no clue what it is, a naso tang and a blue tang in one tank and yes they fight but that's now and then nothing too serous tho the purple is the bully of the tank always has been even for a few years when he wasn't the largest he was still the bully I separated him into a new tank because he was messing up my coals by flipping the corals over and upside down abt 5 months ago I brought him back into the tank and haven't had problems. the purple tan is very aggressive but he is the strongest fish I own he survived ich maybe abt 8-10 times and survived three times when my whole tank crashed and nothing else survived this purple tang is importal

The best Tang is PuTang

Very good. I thought the tank had ich not too long ago. How'd you fix that so quick?

Would you consider the tank heavily stocked or could you still ad more fish?

Tried a Powder Brown (established), and adding a Powder Blue.... (Fail)

Are you the guy from scary movie?

can i put a power blue an a regular blue tang together

PINKY! DUDE!!!!!!! WTF?????? LMAO

What is your thickness of the 210g ? Tks

What are the dimensions of your tank please ?

Would 2 yellow tangs fight in a single tank?

Where do you get the money from?

Brother, I have 9 tangs um my reef: 4 yellow, 1 purple, 1 sailfin, 2 hepathus and 1 sohal

Poor Pinky! :(

i have a 250g tank and also have 10 tangs in my tank.

i'ts a tang-k!

Lol 8 tangs in your tank I have 17 all but two are acanthurus, sporadic territory disputes the more tangs the less likely of aggression on one single tang.

Worst part of this hobby is the fing rules ppl make up, and the marine tank police, be responsible and do wat u want

Very interesting But show more about the subject and less of you.. no disrespect🙏🏽just the way you speak on camera it’s kind of special and maybe uncomfortable🙂 .. that been said Your knowledge about reefing is very appreciated 🤘🏽🙏🏽

I have 10 in my reef tank

At 4:53 he says his mom gave him money for Xmas and he blew it on a fish that died😂 I think she gave him the $ to go out with a girl😂

You tried sooo hard
