Hey Reader,

I need your help. My fish tank is thriving with seagrass in my SW Aquarium. What fish will help to eat this because my good friend at my LFS recommends a brown tang. I am just worried beause my tank is only 100 litres but i may be getting a tank between 200 and 800 litres. Please help me. Also do you think i should get the new tank or should i just stick with my current 1?. Also if i get the new tank then should i use my current 100 litre tank as a Hospital tank?

Plz Help Me!

Thanks alot from Matt.

If you can afford to go bigger then i see why not and can maintain it then i would as it gives you more options for keeping larger species to which tangs are great i have a few and they entertain me no end ,,, if you have a seagrass problem emerald crabs are good for this and most types of algae,, they do work fast and have to either removed or feed well or they will start eating other inverts and fish

Thanks u r a great help

Also how many tangs do u have in your tank and what species?

Also how big is your tank?

I have alot of time to look after my tank and i will definetely be purchasing atleast 1 tang when i get it.

1 last question: Should i buy the tank 1st or 2nd hand?? because my dad says that 2nd hand wouldnt be a smart idea?


Because the filter could break easily. But the problem is i want to get a large tank so if i get a large 1 first hand it will cost alot more but i think me and my dad could squeeze a bargain out of our new buddy at the LFS He helps me alot and calls me once a week to see how my tank is going He is a great guy and really loves SW fish.

Plz Help Me If U Can

From Matt (Thanks in advance)
