    So the time has come to get ready to fill my 36x36x36 150 gallon cube of water with fish. I know what fish I definitely want... but I don't know if their all compatible in my soon to be SPS Reef, their stocking order. I do know which one make the top cut and I want to add. Why don't you give me a hand.
    *Achilles Tang* or *Powder Blue Tang*

    I would love to keep both if I had a way to add them safely.

    I've had him for a few years. I've got pics on my 125 thread. Got him when he was a minow and now he's 10" with nice streamers. Very cool fish but can be obnoxious

    If you don't do the Achilles, another cool tang (same genus) that you don't see too often is the white cheek or gold rim tang. Very pretty fish. Seems like everyone has a powder blue these days.

    In theory adding them at the same time and while they're small will increase your chances of success.

    Thank you for the recommendation. Just so happens that a store near my has a Powder Blue Tang in stock and is receiving an Achilles today. But I think everything inside me is still telling me to hold off. UUGJHASIADSIUH stupid common sense.

    Man ime those are the worst candidates for a brand new system.They are hard enough in a mature tank.I would choose something a little hardier/cheaper to start.
