Thanks....what Is Your Main Concern On Using Conditioned Tap Water? | You can get a report from your provider about the stats on your tap water. Some contain heavy metals like copper that could wipe out your system. Some is high in negative and positive ions like nitrites, trates, phophates, etc. I would not use it unless you get an RO/DI system.
I would only keep one tang, and that is the yellow tang. Blue tangs are unbelieveably constant swimmers. They need lotsa space.

I can't answer your question regarding live rock as I don't know what, if any, additional filtration you have in the tank at the moment. | |

Is that Aquaclear a hang on type filter? If it is, it's not the greatest filtration for a reef tank so you could stand to add another 10 or so pounds of rock. | |

Add the yellow tang to your 55, not the blue tang... An average tang swims up to 50 miles a day in the ocean. Also DO NOT USE TAP WATER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!
Use r/o water! | |
