Naso? :shock:
It's small now, but.....well you know, up to 18". Good luck with it.

"Smaller than 4" Naso tangs rarely live adapt to living in captivity, unless they're un-starved and placed in a setting with unlimited access to food. My advice? Buy larger (four plus inch) Unicornfishes. Can you get one that's too big? Sure, depending on the spatial assets of your set-up. I have seen more-than-a-foot Naso (lituratus) "streamers" (with long, trailing ends to the upper and lower margins of their caudal fin), placed with success in humungous systems. The same fish would die "mysteriously" of "behavioral problems" put in a six foot system."

Yeah,I thought about that Capt.But I also new what would happen to him if left at the LFS.And I knew he'd have a better chance in my tank for now.
I've also got a friend I work with,thats in the process of building a 120"X36"X36"D plywood reef tank.So thats already taken care of too.:D

Nice fish pickup Yote, and I love the moon lights!
A local guy who has shared some sps with me has a large tank. 220 or 250(I forget) 6ft tank. He has a 8" blue hippo, 7" yellow tang, a 10" shoal tang (that freakin rocks!) and a blond naso with beautiful streamers that is probably every bit as big as the shoal. He has had all four and a group(12-15) of smaller fish in the 2-4" range for years now. He recently upgraded his skimmer and is running a 40gal sump. I think as long as you keep the fish count low(which you have been planning) you will be in good shape for years to come. Good luck and keep the posts comming.

Yote what is your buddy doing for glass on the woody? Is he going to attempt a single pane for the long span or is he going to split it up? If he hasnt found it tell him to check out www.fingerlakesreef.com that is the home of KentE (guy with the famous 1000gallon woody) those guys can help him with the logistics if he needs help.
