Ask a mod to combine all your threads. Just send one a PM nicely asking to merge them, and they will probably do it. Also, as CStrickland said in your original thread, you don't have anymore room. If you have more questions, you might try asking in your original thread.

Also, blenny's probably won't eat algae on the glass. That's more of a razor blade kind of thing.

Oh, and the scooter will decimate that pod population. You're most likely having a pod boom, that will go away naturally in a month.

TANK=OVERSTOCKED. NO MORE FISHIES ALLOWED.

Seamonster124, I thought that filefish ate both glass AND acrylic? I personally plan to keep my filefish in a styrofoam tank, I heard they don't eat that since it squeaks too much.

Tangs=too active and too big for anything under a 75 gallon at the very least. also: TANK=OVERSTOCKED. YOU HAVE TOO MANY FISHIES.

Oh, and I agree with snorvich. Most likely won't survive in your tank.

I have never heard of a filefish eating glass

Just click any of the little red triangles under each person's profile (not all at the same time) then a new window will open and you can ask them to combine all of your fish threads into one. You have quite a few of them.

Can anyone tell me why the Zebrasoma scopas/brown Tang is 75g 4ft tank and the Acanthurus coeruleus/Atlantic Blue Tang is 125g 6ft tank?

The atlantic blue looks so much like a Ctenochaetus/bristletooth. You'd think it could be in a 4ft tank.

Dude, I suggested to you yesterday to stop making new threads and have a mod put them all in one place. You can either PM any of the mods as they all have RC Mod in their profile when they post, or you can click on the red triangle under any persons post to any thread to notify a mod, or ask for them to combine all of your threads. I said this to you when you only had 5 or 6 threads. Now you have dozens of them. Why do you keep making new threads????

It's now gotten to the point where nobody wants to help you and you can see that nobody is answering your threads. Well this is why!

This. The 15 or so threads you have started in the last 3 days have been merged together.

Stop adding fish. It is really that simple.

I can tell you from personal experience diving with them the A. Coeruleus gets well over 9". I'd say easily 13-15". They were nothing at all like the C. Tangs. They also very much liked to swim in packs in surge zones being swept in and out. A lot. Very turbulent water so I would imagine they would prefer a very high flow tank that's well aerated.
