So I havent posted any pictures of my tank...LMK what ya think. I got a colony of 35 blasto heads going in tomorrow...Should be exciting!

So, this is what I currently have in the tank:

Maroon clown
Matted filefish (doesnt mess with corals)
Bicolor blenny
Orange spotted goby
Small Blue Hippo tang
Lavender tang
Fromia starfish
purple lobster
sally light foot, hermits, basic cleaning crew snails and emarld crab

hammer coral
torch coral
frogspawn coral
choc. chip brain
red/green brain
kenya tree
star polyps
blastos
duncans (green and tan)
orange/purple ricordia
green ricordia
candycane coral
acans
favia brain
sun coral
assorted mushrooms
some type of zoa's
really cool leather (dont know the name...opens up real nice)
....except for the torches, hammer, leather, favia brain, brains in general, and the kenya tree....most are decent size frags...but been growing real nice for a long time.

Looking good.

We love tank pics!

Where are you going to put the blastos? You're running a tight ship already, lol.

Your color and growth look really great! I love that open brain on the sand and can't wait to see it with your new blasto acquisition. Good work!

Hope you don't mind me saying, but it seems to be a tad on the small side for two tangs and the mild-mannered maroon clown. What size tank is it? Ultimately I fear that this combination will end up being stressful in this size tank.

[REBridges]

first off...dont worry! im starting to cycle my other tank and I'm gonna move some things over...right now I'm running a 30gallon...SO DONT SHOOT ME! I ALREADY KNOW! LOL....

anyhow I've had the maroon clown forever. He has never been fierce as their reputation goes. He really is mild-mannered.Him and the hippo tang are literally best friends, and the filefish likes hanging around the hippo tang, and the 2 tangs love swimming together...I think that means everybody likes him. The maroon clown recognizes his owner quite well....its funny how they recognize the people who feed them...The lavender tang isnt as big as it's percieved to be in the picture...all the fish are real small and therfore makes him look alot bigger....But I hope to have the lavender in a much bigger tank here before long...

as far as the blastos go....I'll figure it out tomorrow....got a great deal for a colony of 35 heads and they are super bright!

what i hate about my pictures is that it really doesnt show off the true bright colors of the tank...looks so much nicer than what it is...

im glad i did, but on this tank i mixed black and white live sand...gives it a lot more texture and quality.

LOL everyone has been giving you a hard time, me included! TANG POLICE WEEOOOW WEEOOOW.

Looks very nice man, you needa come by since ya live so close.

After I got the little guy...I was told the same thing by some people...and that if others knew on here I would be given a hard time. I'm guilty...but the little guy is been doing great for quite some time...there is also more open space than what the picture looks like...the cave in the back opens up quite big....but YES I KNOW...thats still not enough.

I would like to see your setup..what are you running?

That's why I couldn't work in a fish store... If I had a store I'd call it "The Fish Nazi". That way people would know what to expect.
Want a tang for your 30 gallon? No fish for you! LOL

That toadstool is going to make a beautiful centerpiece!

[REBridges]

Thank you...couldnt remember the name of that leather....Just know in the meantime I will provide a healthy enviroment...As soon as I see something not going right I will make sure a proper home is met....as far as the hippo tang he has a long time of growth before any concerns...right?
