powder brown tang with naso??

[mph84]

just wondering what peoples experiences are with these two tangs together? I have a 120 gallon tank and already have the powder brown. looking to add the naso to keep some bubble algae under control. thanks

should be no problem IME, I have housed a powder brown with both sailfin, naso, and vlamingi tang, which is in the naso family.

paste some pics of the new tang on the glass for a week and you should reduce the focus on the new fish. This is how I successfully have a pool of tangs.

Two thoughts:
1) a 4' tank will be quickly outgrown by a Naso tang.
2) adding a fish for bubble algae control is not the best method, IMO. Bubble algae is pretty easy to pluck off and many Nasos won't touch the stuff.
