i know im asking the wrong place but does someone know of a way to log back into an Instagram account?? I stupidly forgot my account password. I would appreciate any assistance you can give me
@Westley Ramon Thanks for your reply. I got to the site on google and Im waiting for the hacking stuff atm. Takes quite some time so I will get back to you later with my results.
Do NOT pull all the tangs out and disrupt the peace . That would be creating a giant pain in the ass for yourself and your loyal tangs . Do not under-appreciate what you already have and the harmony that you created . Sell the black tang and keep the money in your pocket for a future upgrade
Technically aggression is a thing(with my tangs ) so even after adding my fish they fish , that’s why I add them at night turn all the lights off and wait for the next day , but aggression is still a thing the next morning so make sure you have enough space for the fish to hide in , but it all calms down over the next 24 hours but yes I know it’s like playing with money but it’s the best way to maintain a proper establishment over your tank
Man I feel your pain. This is why I've decided to have zero tangs or no more than one. It is a beautiful fish and would be a much bigger draw for your channel than yellows and purples. Getting all them out and starting fresh with the black would be my call.
Thanks man tangs are defiantly my favorite fish. I know you say your getting out of tangs but they keep showing up in your tank :) Once your hooked on tangs its a hell of an addiction to break. You make a great point, but what if I can get all 9 in and happy?
MileHighReefers Haha you got me. They do get under your skin. If you can get them all in and be happy that would be ideal obviously. The odds of achieving that tho lol. I'd rather play the lotto haha. I think your idea of getting them all out started with the black tang and then working them back in would be your best option to achieve your goals. I have tried this in the past with Jef but they aren't stupid and if the tank is the same when they return it will just be like they have been on vacation. Jef went back to he's normal aggressive self if I didn't do a rescape to make him think he was in a new environment. Keep us updated buddy this is an interesting story. Oh and Merry Christmas to you my friend I hope you and your family have an amazing holiday.
Bummer that it's being more difficult than you would have hoped. But, I appreciate that you are keeping it real. I too have a similar issue with an Orange Shoulder and a Scopas Tang. They seem to have settled down and so my issue is not as bad as yours, although for a while there I was getting worried I might have to separate them. I think you are doing the right thing by thinking it thru and going thru all possible options and then trying the best option based on those options. Good luck and as always I appreciate your videos! Keep us posted!
You have an awesome tank I wouldn't risk everything just for one black tang. I say keep things the way they are and sell him. you can always get a different cool fish
IMO, you already have an impossible number of tangs in your tank that get along. I wouldn't risk all of that, for one fish. Its also going to stress out your current tangs unnecessarily, not to mention the rest of your tank as you try to catch them.
Carlson Moncrief yep...... I almost tore down my entire tank to remove a stupid red lip blenny who kept biting my blue hippo tang...... it stressed everything out in my tank
That sucks so much. Personally I'd probably try to catch, QT, & reintroduce but that does sound really hard. As cool as it is you might need to sell it.
Was gonna order that from la too, nice fish, I got a black tang coming for my tank along with a powder brown and naso, hopefully the current residence purple, yellow, sailfin are gonna go easy on them after qt. you need to keep that fish bud, such a beauty!
hell of a story! LOL... dude was happy to be in that box.. seems like u gonna need 2 more to add with him so he dont go in solo... 12 tang system??? I did have luck pulling my Powder blue when i added new yellow and tomini... it may work..
Dude you really need to put that black hybrid in the frag tank that’s the only option you can’t just pull 4 tangs out of a well established tank they’ve called home for years
Been there done that. Lol...I feel your frustration..In the end my other two tangs were trapped and sold. No way I was getting rid of my new black tang. Now he is and always will be the only tang in the system. Which is fine cause there are plenty of other beautiful fish in there.
I had the same problem adding a choclate tang after the purple and white tail kole and yellow belly blue tang. The white tail was really bad. Caught him and put him in the sump for two weeks then the acclamation box for another week then put him back in with the purple, yellow belly blue and chocolate. All peaceful except for feeding, but ok. The agressive tangs need to be separated for at least 4 weeks. Good luck.
Put it in the tank where the corals don’t get color or sell it but don’t create a tank where is a lot of tension that can bring ich to the table due to a higher level of stress between them. Good Luck brother reefer
Great looking tang an good video. I use individual mirrors... my mrs make up ones ssshhh. Few of them scattered about. I am newly adding tangs to my system , on my 4th one in 4 months, they attack new addition till they see another mirror lol. Maybe try a few smaller ones? Good luck adding him will look good in there with the others eventually
Keeping a reef tank is an adventure. We learn something new every day. I would probably try to get the other tangs out, and then reintroduce them all together. Do some light reaquascaping, and hopefully it will work out. But at least if you try all your avenues, you can't say that you failed. After all every fish has their own unique personality. Don't give up in this little test. It will be worth it in the end. It may take a couple of months. Good luck, and have fun on this adventure.
I can't imagine any scenario where adding that fish was going to end well. Like you said, pulling out most (or all) of the tangs and reintroducing them all at the same time has the high potential of making matters worse. It's not worth it, IMO. It's a cool fish, but so are sharks and you wouldn't put one of those in your tank. Sometimes you have to make tough decisions about what you can reasonably keep and what you can't. I wouldn't subject that poor fish to another gang-style beating. In the short term, find a friend who is willing to keep him "on loan" until an opportunity arises (like all your other tangs dying, or setting up a new tank) for you to bring him back.
I had same issues and my last resort was to shut the lights and have complete (blackout) darkness just like a 3 day algae control for 3 days and guess what...it worked. Everyone is happy and in harmony :)
If you do the reintroduction, you should put all the fish, including the black tang into a qt system with the black tang in first. I would still consider the mirror to keep the powder blue in check. My powder blue is an ahole to!
Hey Scott:) I'm really happy that you're taking your time and thinking through all this. I knew that black tang would be in good hands:) I'm sorry that it's not going smoothly but I know that you'll find a solution. Here's to hoping that putting them all in at the same time will work!!! (I'd suggest rearranging some territories but I can't even imagine the work that would actually mean 😂). Otherwise, it sounds to me like you need to rehome that powder blue ;) jk. But seriously good luck, I really hope it works out. :)
Thanks Kylee! I'm leaning towards trying to catching the problem tangs and putting them in the frag system for a few weeks. I've tried catching some of these fish before and not had a lot of luck. Great to hear from you!
The only thing I can say is I wouldnt give up the black tang. That tang is amazing and the last fish you will ever get form that store. I know another tank isnt what you want but it may be a good option. Somehting else you could do is try and remove the more agressive purple tang and sell him or set him up in a tank for a time maybe
The way the vlamingi is putting on growth you will need a bigger tank in the not too distant future so maybe put the black tang in the frag system for a while. Like you said, you have relative peace between the tangs which in itself is quite an achievement and would be a shame if, after all the trouble of removing them all, a different kind of war broke out when they are reintroduced. It would be a shame if you had to part with it and I wish you well whichever road you take.
I know it's an old video. But I just added more mirrors. I had a full mirror laid length wise and another at the other end, making an L shape down the peninsula side. After a week it worked.
I'd pull the baddies out and keep the beautiful new black tang in your display. That is a fish you've obviously been looking for and it deserves a good chance - I would consider what to do with the others after taking a breather!
I’m sure you’re aware, but if you decide to take the purple and yellow tangs out, you could disturb the peace of the tank atm for only one other fish. You would/could be changing the lives of fish that have been with you for years for one fish (A really cool one) that you just got. I do agree that selling the black tang is not ideal, maybe you could take the other tangs out for a few days to let the black gang settle in. I really love that black tang and think it would be awesome to have in the display, but it will take time. As a wise Spock once said, the needs of the many are greater than the needs of the few, or the one. Whatever you decide to do, good luck!!
You tried your best but imo you are maxed out on fish. Either sell the tang or make a new system for it an more rare expensive and fragile fish, maybe a fowler!
What I have done that has worked for me is that when I introduced the new fish in is that I wait till complete darkness that way the fisn in the tank don't see you putting in the new comer. It has worked for me. Give it a try and see.
If you add another Yellow Tang or two with the Beautiful Black Tang at the same time it will part the aggression toward the Black! They will have a problem with the new Yellows entering their territory after some chasing they'll work through it that's what I did with 3 Purples,a Yellow when I added a Chocolate Tang.Maybe ?😤
Having issues with my Yellow tang. I dont have anywhere to temporarily place it and introduced a coral beauty. Long story short the tang stressed the dwarf angel to death. The LFS will not take the tang back so my dreams of a stocked tank die. I was under the impression tangs only fought with other similar tangs. lesson learned.
Like you said all the fish had already a stablished territory in the tank so by putting the new one In the aclimatación box you are setting that box as his territory so you shouldn't have removed the box after setting him free. In my opinion you should have left the box in there with and opening so he could always go back to his 'territory'/safe place (that's why he went in the trap so easily after). Once they all settle and the aggression goes down then you can remove the box. That worked for me before and it's just my humble opinion. Good luck!
Remove the problem fish, add black tang to establish territory. Then add the rest back in. Or if you’re not too attached to the problems tangs. Trade them for new ones and introduce all at the same time.
getting a list together for my 125g setup comingup. i plan to buy all as small as i can find would that work instead of adding them all at once but just add each to the tank every 2 or so week i plan to QT only one tang at a time don't need all my fish to get sick just coz one is sick in QT no need to waste money and end up getting my display tank with ich or anything so would buying them at 2-3in and adding to display i'm thinking 2 weeks QT with 1 week breeder box every month or so once the tang stocking starts?
I wouldn't pull out all your established fish just to try to have that fish. It will put stress on all of them, and maybe risk the chance of disease from stress seeing as they are tangs. I just would not risk all that for 1 fish. Your tank looks amazing already. Just my 2 cents...
What if you got another tang and introduced it at the same time as the black tang? I have 3 already and want a hippo. So instead of introducing one fish. I’m getting a powder blue and will introduce them both at the same time. That way it’s 2 on 3 and not 1 on 3.
this is why your mirror didnt work out too well. the mirrored tang was about the same size of the tang. i would get pics of bigger tangs and put it on the wall so that it feels threatens
I was thinking to get 50 gallon tank as my first tank I new what I wanted the only thing I had to do is convince my parents and see how to do a water change. But then I saw how to do water change.you had to have rodi muchine to get rid off all nasty things off water like heavy metals but I don't think I'm allowed muchine connect to my tap is there any other way please help.by the way love ur tank how much would you say ?
You can but water from the reef store, or buy the RODI unit and hook it up to the sink without doing in damage. Great to hear your getting into the hobby.
Question is, you have some Tangs that are going to be getting much bigger, allot of rock and coral which takes out allot of free swimming space for the numerous tangs.. your tank starts to look to small, and reason for the aggression, these tangs would never see eye to eye in the wild either, i'm not the tang police but think about the fish, and not your selfish needs ( i mean that in a nice way)
I have sailfin tag along with scopas Tang. Ya going to say not good idea. They buddy s she has her cave scope tang. Sailfin tag running the reef and hang out with small fish with black and white stripe s . They eat together
Its worth any risk, pull the other tangs throw the hybrid in, then attempt to get lucky if not sell the aggressors a tang like that is a once in a lifetime fish
You have two options, sell it or have patience and catch all your other tangs to remove. I'd personally get rid of some of your tangs as you have nothing special, plus it will lighten up your tank load and IMO you have too many tangs in your system already.
Well, not great options…..You already have allot of tangs in there. Would say you are at your limit. That’s one of the reasons also its not going to work…not enough room for all those tangs. If u just have to try, the. My suggestion would be to keep the black tang out of the tank.
I think try and take them out then add them together as you said. Such a beautiful fish can't be put in a frag tank or sold, so lucky to have one. It didn't work the first time, but I wouldn't give up. Good luck 👌🐠
This may be a failure but I wouldn't go as far as to call it an epic fail. An epic fail would have been if you didn't qt and all the other tangs got ich / velvet or you left him in to die. You will get another chance and hopefully it works out better. While the true black tangs look nicer as babies I think this guy will be nicer as an adult the long nose on adults just looks weird to me plus they get massive compared to most zebrasomas. Good luck on the next try.
That sucks. Fish aggression is frustrating.
Start a new frag tank and put the black tang in there. He'll be very happy.
i know im asking the wrong place but does someone know of a way to log back into an Instagram account??
I stupidly forgot my account password. I would appreciate any assistance you can give me
@Ronald Rohan Instablaster ;)
@Westley Ramon Thanks for your reply. I got to the site on google and Im waiting for the hacking stuff atm.
Takes quite some time so I will get back to you later with my results.
@Westley Ramon It worked and I actually got access to my account again. I'm so happy!
Thank you so much you saved my account :D
@Ronald Rohan Glad I could help :D
Do NOT pull all the tangs out and disrupt the peace . That would be creating a giant pain in the ass for yourself and your loyal tangs . Do not under-appreciate what you already have and the harmony that you created . Sell the black tang and keep the money in your pocket for a future upgrade
He's right, you've got a baby tank for all those fish.
Glad the black tang has survived! I do hope you get it into the main display. Good luck with it.
Technically aggression is a thing(with my tangs ) so even after adding my fish they fish , that’s why I add them at night turn all the lights off and wait for the next day , but aggression is still a thing the next morning so make sure you have enough space for the fish to hide in , but it all calms down over the next 24 hours but yes I know it’s like playing with money but it’s the best way to maintain a proper establishment over your tank

Lol, I have 9 separate tang species in my 300. However, they were all introduced within a few days of each other so there is no bullying going on.
Carlson Moncrief yep...... I almost tore down my entire tank to remove a stupid red lip blenny who kept biting my blue hippo tang...... it stressed everything out in my tank

You sir, are a madman
Put it in the tank where the corals don’t get color or sell it but don’t create a tank where is a lot of tension that can bring ich to the table due to a higher level of stress between them. Good Luck brother reefer
CUBAN REEFER Thanks man lots to think about ☺
Yes that's a good idea taking the yellow the purples and the powder out and put them all in at the same👍
Great looking tang an good video. I use individual mirrors... my mrs make up ones ssshhh. Few of them scattered about. I am newly adding tangs to my system , on my 4th one in 4 months, they attack new addition till they see another mirror lol. Maybe try a few smaller ones? Good luck adding him will look good in there with the others eventually
I think your best bet is pulling all the tangs as you said. But being able to change the rockwork would also be very helpfull
Keeping a reef tank is an adventure. We learn something new every day. I would probably try to get the other tangs out, and then reintroduce them all together. Do some light reaquascaping, and hopefully it will work out. But at least if you try all your avenues, you can't say that you failed. After all every fish has their own unique personality.

Good luck bro been watching your channel for a long time
Great video, what are the best magnets for building your own rack and ac boxes? Thanks
EPIC FAIL 😎😎😎😎😎*dabs 1000 times*
Dang Scott, hope it gets sorted out so you can keep it.
With a fish as rare as a hybrid black tang, I think having its own tank is better for a fish that pricey.
That’s one sexy tang anyways. Thanks for sharing!
Good idea you know this hobby takes a lot of patience and perseverance to be successful good luck 👍 buddy
Love that eggcrate fish acclimation cage. Where did you buy the magnets ?
The magnets are off of old Jebao pumps.
Hybrid black tang looks WAY nicer than a true/pure black tang
Reef Builders I totally agree
100% Jake
Sucks man that would be an awesome addition to this tank. I like your plan though hope it works
You already di a lot having many together
Hope you can get them to get along they are all beautiful fish
Hey Scott:) I'm really happy that you're taking your time and thinking through all this. I knew that black tang would be in good hands:) I'm sorry that it's not going smoothly but I know that you'll find a solution. Here's to hoping that putting them all in at the same time will work!!! (I'd suggest rearranging some territories but I can't even imagine the work that would actually mean 😂). Otherwise, it sounds to me like you need to rehome that powder blue ;) jk.
But seriously good luck, I really hope it works out. :)

dude! videos like this just get me spending at least an hour watching and eating instant noodles! LOL!!! #instantnoodles!
The way the vlamingi is putting on growth you will need a bigger tank in the not too distant future so maybe put the black tang in the frag system for a while. Like you said, you have relative peace between the tangs which in itself is quite an achievement and would be a shame if, after all the trouble of removing them all, a different kind of war broke out when they are reintroduced. It would be a shame if you had to part with it and I wish you well whichever road you take.
Id say sell it or put it in the frag system if you really want to keep it that bad. Tank looks awesome as always.
I know it's an old video. But I just added more mirrors. I had a full mirror laid length wise and another at the other end, making an L shape down the peninsula side. After a week it worked.
I'd pull the baddies out and keep the beautiful new black tang in your display. That is a fish you've obviously been looking for and it deserves a good chance - I would consider what to do with the others after taking a breather!

As a wise Spock once said, the needs of the many are greater than the needs of the few, or the one.
Whatever you decide to do, good luck!!
You tried your best but imo you are maxed out on fish.
Either sell the tang or make a new system for it an more rare expensive and fragile fish, maybe a fowler!
What I have done that has worked for me is that when I introduced the new fish in is that I wait till complete darkness that way the fisn in the tank don't see you putting in the new comer. It has worked for me. Give it a try and see.

Having issues with my Yellow tang. I dont have anywhere to temporarily place it and introduced a coral beauty. Long story short the tang stressed the dwarf angel to death. The LFS will not take the tang back so my dreams of a stocked tank die. I was under the impression tangs only fought with other similar tangs. lesson learned.
Like you said all the fish had already a stablished territory in the tank so by putting the new one In the aclimatación box you are setting that box as his territory so you shouldn't have removed the box after setting him free. In my opinion you should have left the box in there with and opening so he could always go back to his 'territory'/safe place (that's why he went in the trap so easily after). Once they all settle and the aggression goes down then you can remove the box. That worked for me before and it's just my humble opinion. Good luck!
christiancard9 Good call. I will definitely keep this advice in mind.
Honestly. I think you love this fish. I think you are willing to risk the balance of your aquarium, for vader!
Kole is pronounced ko- ley, just an FYI. Love the channel man.
Hey, maybe if that does not work, you can have this beautiful fish in a Tank where he is alone and the "Highlight" in the Tank that's also cool^^
Where did you get the egg crate with magnets.
Luke said it best- “This is not going to go the way you think”
That was way better than my quote :)
How do people know when its a hybrid? Or a special mix? Have they been crossed bred?
Remove the problem fish, add black tang to establish territory. Then add the rest back in.
Or if you’re not too attached to the problems tangs. Trade them for new ones and introduce all at the same time.
What about adding another yellow and the black and intoduce them two at the same time. Maybe the others will get confused on which one to pick on..
Put all of them in the sump together at the same time for 2 week's..then the main display at the same time
I saw someone online was having issues with their clowns and what he did was drop a “toy clown fish in the tank.
getting a list together for my 125g setup comingup. i plan to buy all as small as i can find would that work instead of adding them all at once but just add each to the tank every 2 or so week i plan to QT only one tang at a time don't need all my fish to get sick just coz one is sick in QT no need to waste money and end up getting my display tank with ich or anything
so would buying them at 2-3in and adding to display i'm thinking 2 weeks QT with 1 week breeder box every month or so once the tang stocking starts?
put a non expensive tang together with the black tang it would be the best option so they will have to option to be interested good luck
Whats the difference between the hybrid black tang and true black tang is it the blue line and longer nose for the true black tang?
I wouldn't pull out all your established fish just to try to have that fish. It will put stress on all of them, and maybe risk the chance of disease from stress seeing as they are tangs. I just would not risk all that for 1 fish. Your tank looks amazing already. Just my 2 cents...
Definitely need the acclimation box for minimum 3 weeks
What did you do with the tangs did it work
Bummer, Hope you can figure something out.
Put the hybrid in the frag tank, and then just include more film involving the frag tank! so he gets some love :p
😁😁hope it work's, good luck
the hybrid black tanks is 2000 usd at a lfs near me, does this price sound reasonable
Probably a dumb idea, but could you trade in each bad fish for the same kind of fish and introduce them all at the same time? Still a noob so idk
What if you got another tang and introduced it at the same time as the black tang?
I have 3 already and want a hippo. So instead of introducing one fish. I’m getting a powder blue and will introduce them both at the same time.
That way it’s 2 on 3 and not 1 on 3.
Hi, love the video. I tried searching online for gball magnets but couldn't find anything. Do they have another name I could look up? Thanks
this is why your mirror didnt work out too well. the mirrored tang was about the same size of the tang. i would get pics of bigger tangs and put it on the wall so that it feels threatens
I was thinking to get 50 gallon tank as my first tank I new what I wanted the only thing I had to do is convince my parents and see how to do a water change.

You can but water from the reef store, or buy the RODI unit and hook it up to the sink without doing in damage. Great to hear your getting into the hobby.
Please post more I LOVE your videos I eat Roman and watch you and rotter tube reef
What kind of magnets are those? Thinking of building something like that.
They're magnets off of old Jebao pumps.
Question is, you have some Tangs that are going to be getting much bigger, allot of rock and coral which takes out allot of free swimming space for the numerous tangs.. your tank starts to look to small, and reason for the aggression, these tangs would never see eye to eye in the wild either, i'm not the tang police but think about the fish, and not your selfish needs ( i mean that in a nice way)
I think Pull out powder blue and purples
I have sailfin tag along with scopas Tang. Ya going to say not good idea. They buddy s she has her cave scope tang. Sailfin tag running the reef and hang out with small fish with black and white stripe s . They eat together
Its worth any risk, pull the other tangs throw the hybrid in, then attempt to get lucky if not sell the aggressors a tang like that is a once in a lifetime fish
It must be too much trouble for you to boil the plants. Those fish are having way too hard time trying to eat.
You have two options, sell it or have patience and catch all your other tangs to remove. I'd personally get rid of some of your tangs as you have nothing special, plus it will lighten up your tank load and IMO you have too many tangs in your system already.
How much for the tang.
Did I see a lunar wrasse in your tank? I have always heard that they are not reef safe. Does it go after your snails & crabs?
Why do you feel the need to push things to the limit. Not good for the hobby!
David Sopjack its a Christmas wrasse i highly recommend them.
You need to say "Hybrid Back Tang" more...
put pictures of other tangs such as those purple,yellow/powder blue and tape them to your glass, at leat try is, it works.
Well, not great options…..You already have allot of tangs in there. Would say you are at your limit. That’s one of the reasons also its not going to work…not enough room for all those tangs. If u just have to try, the. My suggestion would be to keep the black tang out of the tank.
I'd get rid of the most aggressive purple...since you have two of them.
ill take that black tang! check my tank! lol i only have one yellow tang. and hippo tang in my tank :)
That’s a 1700.00 fish
Sell one purple tang, take others out and put them in the same time
Worst part about fish keeping :(
plzz dont sell the black tang he so amazing
Put a realistic bigger tangs picture on the glass ?
I’m interested in buying it
How’d you like Star Wars? I thought it sucked to be honest
I liked. it didn't go anything like i expected.
I think try and take them out then add them together as you said. Such a beautiful fish can't be put in a frag tank or sold, so lucky to have one. It didn't work the first time, but I wouldn't give up. Good luck 👌🐠
This may be a failure but I wouldn't go as far as to call it an epic fail. An epic fail would have been if you didn't qt and all the other tangs got ich / velvet or you left him in to die. You will get another chance and hopefully it works out better. While the true black tangs look nicer as babies I think this guy will be nicer as an adult the long nose on adults just looks weird to me plus they get massive compared to most zebrasomas. Good luck on the next try.
