    A small kole or tomini, but like others have said, only if you're removing fish. You're close to the borderline of overstocked IMO, and tangs are big eaters.

    If you get a Tang, since no matter what anyone says, we do what we do, just make sure it's very small and when it's time to get it out because it doubled in size quickly and got mean, don't post a thread entitled "Help me catch my Tang" :) I mean that in a nice way

    I constantly absorb advice here but dont' always listen to it, I'm one of those people that just has to do it myself to make sure. Because of that I'd rather fail at something to make sure it won't work rather than wonder (that's not always a smart or cheap thing but it's just me). I must say 3reef gives awesome advice though & 9 out of 10 times they are spot on with their suggestions/advice.

    None for two reasons :

    1. Your way over stocked as it is

    2. Tank is way to small for a tang

    as you can see people will tell you different things. IF IT WERE MY TANK, and I really wanted the tang, I would take out the angel.

    I agree with not adding unless you remove some fish first and then only a Kole tang

    I really want a blue tang, but I know my tank is way too small. Maybe in my next tank I can get a tang? Thanks for all the input!
