Big no for the NASO, I wouldn't even put a yellow in there personally but if you do then no other big fish. :)

Thank you all for your advise. I believe I am going to go for the Kole tang again. I lost the last one to some strange disease or something that went un-diagnosed so I would like to try again.
Beautiful fish.

Kole tangs are nice. Good choice.

Thanks Groan great thread I am looking at a Tang for new 75 and was really leaning towards my favorate fish The Powder Blue. But after reading here I sadden to realize this is not the best choice. The Kole does seem to be a good alternative... thanks... :) But I a further away then you from getting my Tang. Looking forward to hearing how it works out for you. Good luck with the new setup!


Found another couple very nice would fit 75 and reef safe, 'Ctenochaetus tominiensis' http://www.peteducation.com/article.cfm?c=16+2145+2208&aid=2031

'Ctenochaetus hawaiiensis' http://www.liveaquaria.com/product/prod_display.cfm?c=15+43+335&pcatid=335

Now leaning heavily towards the Cheron!

That tomini is lovely!
Chevron is gorgeous too! Don't they take a long time to get their colors?

Chevron tang's lose their orange colors when they become adults. I tried to google images of one but work thought I was looking for porn.  >:(

Life is too short to wake up with regrets.  So love the people who treat you right.  Forget about the one's who don't.  Believe everything happens for a reason.  If you get a second chance, grab it with both hands.  If it changes your life, let it.  Nobody said life would be easy, they just promised it would be worth it.

Wow big difference in adult colours thanks Rox. And they are expensive too. So Kole or Tomin.

OR how about one of these, 'Ornate Angelfish'. I was looking ta them very nice too also expensive though.

Marinescape helped me out by having Koles in stock. Some that have been at the store for some time.
Very reasonable price and they are about 2 incches in size so still some growing ahead. It is in the tank and happily picking at rocks. The lights have not come on yet so I will take some pics later.

There are still 2 left so if you are thinking Kole, go now!
