justin pilon Hobbyist Posts: 57 Kudos: 61 Votes: 0 Registered: 19-Oct-2005	I was thinking of making my 60 a Fish only(FO)salt water tank. i would get a very good skimmer and maybe abit of live rock like "20lbs". would a 60 gallon "12x24x48" be good enought for a tang and lion fish? thanx

Be sure you have enough room for the tang once it grows. Last edited by swiftshark88 at 04-Jan-2006 19:01 Nick "Impossumable- unable to play dead"
