Nano size and other stuff

[Delphinus]

I guess one point I forgot to mention in my first reply way up above, when I suggested baby tangs, was that I was coming from the point of view that baby tangs (i.e., "toonie" sized tangs) may have a harder time in larger tanks when they are so small. Until they are a little bit stronger, is it not easier on them to live in an enviroment a little gentler. One example that comes to mind, Doug mentioned that he put a small tang in his large reef, he found it stuck to his overflow. Another example that comes to mind is another tank I saw recently, where there is a closed loop run by a ampmaster 3000 with a single intake. I can only imagine the amount of suction through that strainer. The fish I saw and to whom it was I referring, it would only take one time of straying too close to such an input and it would be bad news. So yeah I do temper my original comments with "so long as you have the intention of investing into the proper environment down the road." I agree with Naesco that it is probably a lot harder to give up a tang to someone else, espescially when you've seen that tang grow from something coin-sized to something several inches long. Plus you never know if the environment they go into is really any better for them. Is it not still on one's conscience in such a case?
