Sorry it's not answering your question. But I have to say how cool that aquascape is!!! Is it all held together with plastic zip ties? I wanted to say that I tried that on two medium sized rocks In The past. In about a years time the plastic got brittle and cracked while under water. Just wanted to give you a heads up just in case

thanks!
i used 1/2" pcv for the side stuctures & hard flex pcv pipes for the middle part.i drilled holes through the rocks & around the pcv i gave a good shake to make sure it was stable everything was rock solid

Honestly, I had 3 tangs back when I used to have my 75 and they were all fine and pretty decently sized by the time I upgraded, I'm pretty sure they would have been fine in the 75 for a while. Anyways, I wouldn't discourage you from doing 2 tangs, but like Alfie says I would not go for a PBT. You can look into bristletooth tangs since they're relatively smaller tangs at max size. If you're looking for an alternative for the blue fish why not go with a hippo? Especially because they're often found from tiny sized and up, which if you get a tiny one it will be a while till it needs to find a new home.

Take a look for care and specs online. See which ones you really like and what they need. You'll also see how big they get.

I had 5 in my 156 when I got it. Previous owner gave me all his fish. They were big and grew huge very fast with my food. The hippo, yellow and Carribean blue were the fasest growing and the biggest of them all. I also had a Sailfin and a Kole. I ended up selling them all out of guilt. They needed a larger system.

Now I have a purple and a mimic. The mimic is growing fast and I'm thinking it may be time for it to move on too.

No problem! and hahah yeah I love mine, I just wish they had more of a mark here in the US. One thing I have to say is that the paint on one of mine isn't that great anymore and funny thing is it's the newest of all 4 modules. Other than that they're probably one of the best fixtures out on the market especially considering that they've been out for like 3 years now and some companies aren't even up to par yet. If I had the money I would definitely invest in some of they're Cree XM/Multicolored fixtures.

What I tell people is a rule of thumb is about an inch per gallon, Meaning take into consideration your fish are going to grow so if you have lets say 2 clown fish maximum growth about 3 inches thats a total of 6 inch's equaling 6 gallons of water space needed..
Now also take into consideration hiding spots , Your rock work looks awesome but there isn't mush hiding room for the fish , Certain fish will need places to hide at night other wise they will eventually be stressed out and perish.
