Looking for advice on the tank I'm setting up for the Elgin Middle School. Fish only, plastic plants and some rock for decoration.
Need cheap, colorfull, and easy to care for fish. I'm thinking Yellow Tail Damsels and Perculas. Any other ideas?

James, I have some plastic plants you can have. As for rock I would just go ahrad and use holey rock.

Great, I need lots of ornaments as the 110g is pretty big. Send me an e-mail at: james.carroll@clearorbit.com so we can work out the details.

I also have a bunch of old fake coral pieces etc that came with my 150 when I got it.
Let me know and I could snap a few pics. I'm in Pflugerville so kind of on the way out to Elgin.

Have you considered a small reef tank?
I have two small reef tanks with no fish that require very little meatiness. I Just add evaporation water one or twice a week and a small water change one a month. If you stick with Zoo's, mushrooms, and softies like a colt or green finger you should have a small enough bio load to not muck things up real quickly like a FO tank would. Snails a hermit crabs will take care of the cleaning for you! Best of all you never have to feed anything over long weekends.
I'd be willing to donate a colt and a green finger if you go that way.

I'd do a reef with a pair of clowns, dottyback, and small blue damsel sp.
Low bioload, tough fish, but still color.
