    Yeah I saw that, they are an amazing looking creature though, so many fish to. Think about and consider.

    Looking at you tube, I type in "angel and tang aquarium" and wow ! I am in love with almost everything I see, loads of tanks with a juvenile emporer and a adult emperor in the same tank, this is something I didn't think I could do, loads of tangs and angels living together in seemingly peace.

    I also noted lots of the bigger tanks appeared to have air stones in the DT, is this something that is recommended ?

    "In seemingly peace". Don't believe everything you see on youtube. Airstone is not necessary, but lots of flow and surface agitation is important.

    I was thinking it was for more of a decorative effect.

    Is this tank not in your main residence?
