who doesn't like snow....especially 20+ inches in Lincoln
thanks for the info, i frequent the fish store quite often since thats the only FS in lincoln thats worth a s*** Unfortunetly i've been to aqua pets in omaha, I say unfortunetly because it makes the fish store look like a dive.
I'll have to check out Petland though. I think I'll be going to omaha for most of my livestock when my tank is up and running but the Fish Store is good for dry goods, IMO
Thanks for all the info.

Heiniochis aren't reef safe. The anthias are a good choice just look for the lyretails from Maldives they're alot more color full.

Heniochis Butterflies (and any of the Heniochis species such as the Phantom Bannerfish) are NOT reef safe. Some butterflies can be, but it is a huge risk and IMO, just not worth it. Do you really want to be hunting down a problematic fish in a tank that size?
As for the Powder Brown, yes, you absolutely can. But QT it before it goes in your main tank. The Powder Browns, just like the Powder Blues can be more prone to ich than some other fish.

As far as the B/W Heniochus there are two different ones that look pretty much the same and hard to tell apart and one is Safe and the other isnt. The safe one is the "heniochus diphreutes"

no sixline wrasse its a devil
yes to lyretail anthias hardier than most anthias and fairly cheap. if you want to spend more you can get a Hawaiian bicolor or borbonius anthias they are very hardy but not so cheap.
+1 on the sixline and the Lyretails.
My sixline was one the worst purchases that I've made in this hobby. Meaner than any damsel I've ever come across. He killed my beautiful mandarin on me and just caused chaos.
If you decide on the Lyretails, try to look for the Maldives, they're a little more than regular Lyretails (not much), but the color is much, much more vibrant.
Borbonius are awesome, but they're like $200+ for one. A LFS around me sells them for $299 a piece
(And they wonder why they've had them for three years)

I am not a reefer, however I have heard that with butterflies that you look for a longer nose in order to determine whether or not they are coral safe. The heniochus seem to have a rather small nose...how about a long nose (easier to keep) or a copperband (get bigger, but more difficult to keep). The Pakistan butterfly is also very pretty, however it is also a "with caution" addition to a reef.
Not to steer you away from SWF.com, but I would look at a few different sites to determine the reef compatibility of a fish...they are VERY cautious with their compatibility (which I understand...but not all butterflies will munch on your corals).
