Careful. Achilles is the same family of tang as your powder blue.

 

[Tonyscoots84]

Yea i no. So far clown, powder blue n yellow tang. I would b hoping for the best but not willing to spend 159 plus shipping on a fish

I would definitely NOT add an Achilles. They need large tanks with tons of flow. These fish don't act like a typical yellow tang, swimming a bit and then picking at rocks. They swim constantly. They're beautiful fish but only for large tanks IMO.

Tank looks good though. I like these dimensions.

Hey guys just a little update

Ever since rich n kasei stopped by my tank started sucking up alk n cal. I went from 15ml a day in alk to 50 and 10ml in cal to 50. Also mag went up from 4ml to 6ml. Ialso wanna thanks to rich for guiding me in the right directions. Corals are looking better and better and growing more everyday. Finally got some coralline algae on my glass :party: pics to come soon....
