![]() Mixing regal tang with powder blue is ok, but 80 gallon is kind of small for both of them.

![]() I've done it in my 210g reef, but mixing two ick-magnets is not an ideal situation. (Have 80w UV sterilizer on that tank).

You attempting to justify the purchase of two tangs that require 6 foot tanks by buying tiny ones. Picture a pie plate in your tank. That will be your regal soon. If your LFS knows you have a 90 and is still trying to sell them to you, change LFS. Thanks for asking before you buy. |

![]() Best to hold off on the Powder Blue till you upgrade to a much larger tank.
Some tangs are just too easily stressed and become ick magnets, especially when crammed in an undersized tank with another ick-magnet. PBT have lower survival rates than some other hardier tangs, like YTs, Scopas, and Purple tangs for instance. They are just too easily stressed unless you get the exceptionally hardy one. That whole group of similar looking tangs (Achilles, Powder Blue, Gold Rim, Powder Brown) are notoriously hard to keep healthy and ick-free. BTW, tiny tangs also have a poor record for survival compared to med. sized ones. Not what you want to hear, but...
