How many US gallons? SH

 

[welshy_2k5]

99 US gallons

 

[JJ1234567]

that is not 99 us gallons...48x18x24 is 90...so your probably close to 75 maybe 80. I would venture to say that depending on what your doing, your overstocked...based on what Ive been reading.

overstocked.

i have a 90gallon tall tank

im plaining to stock in mytank 2 bangai cardinals, a firefish, a clarki clown, a blue tang, a yellow watchman goby

thats going to be it...

40" x 18" x 18" is 56.1 US Gallons. (46.72 UK gallons, 254.85 Litres)
Remember that's the capacity of the tank without equipment, rock, substrate or fish in it. Once these are all added it'll be closer to 40 gallons or less.

i would drop the green chromis, i mean you want them for the schooling effect when in essense, your tank is to small, plus they loose color when they get bigger.

i would also loose the yellow tang, not only is the tank a bit to small for him, he grows big which means if you choose no to get him you can get 2-3 smaller fish...

if you did heavy skimming and weekly water changes, you shouldnt have a problem with that life stock, just keep on manteince.

Right on the head billa bong. The mass number of fish you want to keep would be more like the stocking list for a 150+ gallon tank. You can either get a bigger tank, or take a bunch of fish off of the list (yellow tang being the first off of the list)
