oh and the tang is a peacefull fish except with other tangs. i would feed it a varity of meaty foods and also feed with a veggie clip to give it the veggies that will make its color pop and suport its immune system.

well what i got for a sponge is one of those things you use to clean cars but its not used and unopen so i asume this is what you are talking about. i still have the 10 sitting around with one of those cheap aquateck filters that maybe i can stick a sponge in ther and use that. but it would not...

yes a 40g sump will work i would just go as big as you can with the sump to give you more water to work with. and i would not call plants the equivalent to live rock. live rock comes with so many critters its hard to keep count. not only do they come with the benefishal bacteria they come with...

also once i get the tank stable do you think i can fit three more fish in the qt?

i would get one of the dwarf angels. and im not shur how corect i am here but what about a fox face.
