Very nice tank and the pics look good, and I have seen some of those coral from Sandys pics from our LFS. Can you tell me about the Powder Blue Tang you have in your tank. Gerwin has/had one in the store the other day ( a very nice :) looking one) and I was close to bringing it home with me but decided I would do some online checking of the fish before I bought it. Anyway, the Live Aquaria web site said, Extremely Aggressive towards other tangs, so I didn't go back and get it. Can you tell us a bit about your tank, what size tank, what kind of lights are you running, whats under the hood, sump, skimmer, refugium tank? Again, very nice.

Tank: 125gal
Sump: 30gal
Skimmer: Vertex 180(smaller version of Gerwin's display tank)
Lights: (4) 48" power glow T5s and (3) 5' VHO's power by an Ice Cap 660(I think)
Return pump: Biggest mag drive Gerwin had
Chemical: 2 part reactor w/ Carbon and GFO
36" UV Sterilizer

Now for the fish:
Powder Blue Tang
Purple Tang
Naso Tang(He's the peacekeeper and the biggest)
Orange Shoulder Tang
Blue Hippo Tang
7 Blue Green Chromis
Fat Head Sunburst Anthia
Female Squareback Anthia
Dragon Goby
Coral Beauty Angel
2 Blue/Yellowtail Damsels(First fish)
Yellow/Purple stripe psuedochromis(spelling)
2 Clownfish
Falco Hawkfish

As far as the fish go the Powder Blue Tang is the last Tang I added. He was actually getting picked on at first but now they all seem to get along. I have a bunch of fish but I'd say if there was a bully in the tang it would either be my blue hippo tang or the purple tang.

I also had a Koran and Blueface angel that I move out of the reef tank to my 100 gal FOWLR with the big Lion fish Gerwin had.

I added a few of the other tank but it's still kind of new. The Blueface looked way better in the reef tank but he kept eating corals so I had to take him out.

Thanks guys! Hopefully one day my tank will look as good as Sandy's, Archie's and Jason's but I'm pretty happy with it so far.

Thanks Jessi and Jason!

Jason as far as the clams go, those are the wifes favorites so I'm going to have to ask her.
