I have been contemplating a yellow tang for some time now. Only problem is I
have a scopas, and am trying to find a yellow that is a bit smaller than
him. From what I know, the yellows can be real a-holes, so I want the scopas
to have a bit of size over the yellow.
I couldnt find any of the kent product, so my LFS ordered Warner Marine dip.
I am assuming that these products are simialar and will both do the trick.
Other than the dip, I will leave the SPS alone.
Thanks,
Shane
