Hello,
Im getting a 72"x18"x12" (LxHxW) tank and i was wondering what i could put in it. I have a blackfin clown, firefish and a green chromis that are DEFO going in and another 2 green chromis, but what after that. I really would love a yellow tang but someone told me the tank is to small is that correct? What fish am i looking at getting?

Oh why im here is this a good quality filter for my tank?

Thanks

Hey!

ok so you have a 12 gal right...seems like your already pushing what you have in the tank already.
yes it's too small for a yellow tang, they need 60 gal at least

I kept a hippo tang in a 12 gal for a little while but it was only him and corals, plus he was under 1/2 inches. Moved him into a larger tank because they can grow pretty quick.

That filter should be fine for what your wanting...I always go with the best filter I can afford...personally believe you cant over filter.

Im confused, it sound like your telling me not to keep it in the 12 gallon which im ditching for the 56 (UK) gallon (68 US gallon) tank.

Well if you were talking about the 72", what other nice fish would be good in there?
