thanks alot. i bought the lr off a local guy that was parting out his tank. i have about 120lbs. got it all for $100. i just got the sail fin and yellow tang yesterday. the clown i brought over from my 14gal bio cube.and a flame hawk.Anyone have ideas how to get off the white lines in my tank? you can see them in a couple pics.i think they are from the salt when i was mixing it. i tried every thing.. any help would be great. thanks allen

aquaguy's right. a 75 is way too big for a sailfin. a 75 is too big for a zebrasoma. together you have a recipe for diaster. i advise removing the sailfin. also, watch the anemone, its not recomended to put one in a tank that new.

also, i think i saw an urchin in that clown pic. theyre notorious for eating purple algae. sorry for being the bearer of bad news.

You scored a great deal on the rock, looks great! I would recommend taking the Salfin out. With the amount of water that is being displaced by the 120 #'s of rock, you probably have closer to 60 gallons or less of water. Salfins require a lot of swimming room and space to grow. I have never kept either a yellow or a salfin, but from what I read you need a minimum of 120 gallons for a salfin to be healthy and disease free.

youre right i am dumb. everyone knows that a sixteen inch fish can fit in a 48x18 inch tang. its simple physics. what does it matter if it cant turn around once you put an aquascape in it (again, simple physics).

Not sure what your looking at but the fish isn't 16 inches long.
Its like putting a baby in a crib, well eventually your "baby" isn't going to fit in the crib.
I have a yellow tang in a 40 gallon and it is doing just fine, it can zip across full speed at this size. No problems turning around. Eventually it will go into a 120 but at this size it is fine.
I've heard enough of this tang crap. If the tang is a adult in a smaller tank I can understand people complaining but at this size it shouldn't be a problem.
