Will my stocking plan work?
I currently have a 180 gallon tank and this is my stocking plan:
Regal tang yellow tang tomini tang 2 clarkii clowns foxface rabbitfish coral beauty manderin goby. algae blenny. Just wondering if I'd still have the capability to add a naso tang |

I've seen many tanks around the same size as yours and even smaller with heavier bioloads.
Tang police might try to get ya, but I think most would agree that your good to go.

Well Im not the tang police but I do know that a 180g IMO is too small for an adult(say, 7 plus inches) Naso.......a small one for a couple years, maybe......I had a small one in my 110 and felt that he needed bigger digs when he was only 4".....they really do love to swim and need the space to do so....

I have a regal, naso and bariene tang and it is only a matter of time before they outgrow my 280. |

So how much bigger is required for a naso tang?

we're talking about a fish with the potential to get over a foot long......LA wants you to buy their fish, so they wont tell you they really shouldnt be in anything smaller than a 280......the naso family is one that should probably be left in the ocean, even thought a good number do well in our aquariums...They get too darn big and like to swim too much...there is a very small percentage of tanks that are big enough for an adult......again just my opinion.....
