Well, I will have a 55 gal refuge with a 4 inch sand bed and cheto (I think that is what it is called) and a little
live rock. In my display tank I will have 200 lbs of
live rock and about 2 inches sand bed. I will be running a
skimmer. I will also have 15 to 20 times flow rate. I will be using a 29 gal
QT tank.
I understand that tangs need a variety in thier diet, including plenty of veggies. I also understand that you need to wait 10 to 12 months to add a mandarin, although I was not aware that a neon goby survives soley on pods and that I will need to wait to add it as well. I'm wanting to use the neon goby as a cleaner fish for the tangs
I am not asking you to perform "magic". I am asking for advice so that I can set up my tank with fish that I will enjoy, but that will not overload the bioload of the tank, or become stressed out.
I also understand that tangs as well as all of the other fish that come from the ocean are not use to the confines of a tank, no matter the size of the tank.
Thanks everyone for your comments, hopefully this futher information will help you give me advice on my tank setup.
