That's good to hear. What's your water change routine like? Tangs can be sensitive to nitrates.

I do 20% every two weeks, sometimes more if the nitrates creep up. Skimmer helps a ton too.

If you're gonna try it, maybe start with a smaller Kole Tang. They grow slow, so you'll have time to upgrade if needed.

Also, make sure you've got plenty of algae for it to graze on. They love nori, but natural algae is best if you can manage it.

Appreciate all the advice, folks. I think I'll give it a shot with a smaller one and keep an eye on things. Thanks again!
