Why not a few hundred?



I have nothing of worth to add, obviously. Good luck with getting your answer

Awesome photo!

So by herd Christy do you mean those three, or something larger like a shoal of PBTs? I would probably say you require at least 500g for a bigger herd, and of that 500 I would say most of it should be in length and depth. Look at oregonreef.com he has a shoal of regal tangs, and while they aren't the same as PBTs, I am kind of assuming thats the look your after?

I'd love to do a school of like 5-7 or something but ultimately I think I will be restricted to about 3 or so. I'm looking at (one day) getting a tank that is 96" x 30" x 22" (or thereabouts). I'm kind of bored at work so I'm working on "Project Pipe Dream" and looking at what I can do with this type of tank and the equipment I'd need etc. I don't think anything above 300g is in my future at all due to logistics and cost.

I keep forgetting about oregonreef.com. I'll have to get over there and scope it out. Thanks for the link!

i have a similar dream tank in mind as well. I need to win the lottery though, because I want a tank at least 1000g with about 10 tangs.
