In my case, my LFS runs copper in his tanks so I do not quarantine my fish and have never had a problem. Adding tangs is best done in odd numbers with juveniles. I have successfully added in threes and this eliminates territorial squabbles. Your 245 gallon should accomodate this methodology. Your tank will accomodate three full grown tangs. It is better to add three different genuses that don't compete for the same food source. This link will go into detail on the subject. What about tangs? _________ Just tryin to recreate God's perfection in a glass bowl. 20 Gallon Reef W/Live Rock, mated pair of Maroon Clowns, Softies, 110 watts PC 10,000k lighting, and skimmer. http://www.3reef.com/uploads/1craig400.jpg
