I was looking for a school of fish.

Lots of water, I have a 75 gal fuge and a 35 gal sump on it too.

Might try rearranging some rockwork,might cause them all to find new territory.

I was thinking of that too. I want to get some rock work down to the sump.

Yea was gonna mention same thing SABOB said. Move Rock Structures and if that dosnt work take biggest aggressor out and place him in the sump for a week then re introduce to main tank.

Although a 275 gallon tank is no small tank, it is still way too small for a school of yellow tangs. The first thing to mention is that I have personally always heard that yellows won't school long term in a group less than 7. Weird number I know.

The only success I've ever had keeping a school of yellows is in a 1100 gallon tank here in Austin that measures 10'x4'x4'. I introduced all of them into the tank at the same time and there is definitely a dominant fish after 2 years of living together but they overall are all doing very well. Just my personal experience again but I wouldn't try to keep a school of yellows in anything that is shorter than 10 feet and another 10'x2'x2' tank we set up would still be too small for them.

I guess I didn't give you an alternative for a schooling fish either. Look into the cardinal family or the anthias family. I know many people don't like to feed anthias as often as they need to but weening the fish onto pellets then using an Eheim autofeeder is very effective. The cardinals are a great choice as well with my personal favorite being the Blue-Eyed Cardinal.

Well, I.m knee deep in it now. They are doing much better today. Although I thought it was funny they were evenly spaced every 2ft the whole length of the tank. Its an 8 ft tank we will have to hope for the best. Noone is fighting or chasing today.

Fish are doing well. One of the tangs seems to be taking a bit of a beating. we will see, I also added a set of small clowns and a goby. I added one small other small fish. Pseudo bicolor I think.
