    what 2 tangs ?

    Yes they are! Hippos are just as beautiful> to me. Yellow/purple are good to but they are semi-aggressive right? I want a tang known to be friendly like the hippos/long nosed is their a better choice that's good for my size tank? Thanks for the reply.

    Alternative to glass top/egg crate?

    Sounds good but I'd really like to try to figure out how to make it retractable "can't be to hard" < lol I just hated the eggcrate I had to adjust it just right to get it out from under my light to do water changes ect.. I'd rather push a screen up and out of my way while feeding ect..
