wow...that's a lot of rock. your tang will be happy with all the extra grazing grounds.

which gets me thinking...what other fish do you plan on adding? you now have so much extra space for so many more fish.

I was thinking:

Divided Leopard Wrasse
Pair of McCosker's Flasher Wrasse
5 more Purple Fire Fish
Purple Tang
Rainford Goby for the frag tank


And once the tank's established I want a Mandarin.

I'd love to get them from someone local, but the 2 week guarentees from blue zoo and live aquaria are very tempting, even if I have to spend a bit more.

julio, thanks!

camaroracer214, after the luck I had w/ my first one I decided to add a second, it's yet to knock anything over.

jdeveaux, thanks!

MarkieB, It was a special order I made thru liveaquaria, I've been on the waiting list for about 3 months for that urchin.
