QT QUESTION

[reefstinger]

what is the minimum size of a QT tank for 2 large and 2 medium Tangs , A 6 inch Vlamgi , 6 inch hippo, , 4-1/2 inch sail-fin and a 4 in yellow tang?? I always qt'd my smaller fish in a 60 cube for 2 weeks . These fish will be cramped in the 60 qt. Im afraid to QT them as they might get stressed. they are in a 120 gal tank now, im wanting to put them in a 6 Ft long 180 reef.

If Petco is doing their $1 per gallon sale you could pickup a few 20g tanks to use and just resell them once your done.

SO even though these 4 tangs have bee in a tank together and got along , i still need to separate each one in QT tanks??

 

[bcavalli]

If a tank is too small for its occupants you will start to see quite a bit of aggression (that is alot of big fish and same shaped tangs generally dont play well together).  If possible I would atleast split them up.
