Hi all... I have a 6 month old FOWLR. It's 90 gallons with about 110 lbs. LR and a 20 gallon sump containing the return pump and skimmer. Current tenants include a 5" Volitans, 12" Snowflake Eel, and a 6" Marine Betta--perhaps the boldest of the bunch, if you can believe that...
Being new to the hobby, I wasn't aware of the tank requirements of these fish. Many sources say that I've got enough room here, (barely,) but I'd like to be sure I'm offering the best environment I can. So I'm upgrading now, before things get too crowded.
If, after upgrading, I were to add a Purple Tang and Lunar Wrasse, do you think they would work with my current group? I'm particularly concerned about the clash between the Lion's mellow nature and the Wrasse's excitability.
And... if I were to add the Tang and Wrasse, how big of a tank do you think I would need? I want to put the order into the LFS by the beginning of the next week and thought it might help to know what size tank I will be ordering!
Thanks very much...
