I've been running a VorTech MP40W and I love it. In fact I just ordered a second one so I can run them as master/slave. Flow rates up to 3000 GPH, several modes, check them out.

What team do you like? Not going for a winning team but a fan who sticks with the team through thick and thin. I'd love to see your team play the Patriots at home or the Chargers at home. Fact is we have a new coach, who's afraid to use are star players.
So what team have you liked for the past ten years? Let's see them play the Pats or the Chargers!

the very first pic in the entire set is a Yellow Eye Kole Tang, the other in the above set is known in the trade as a Tennenti Tang. The first is a smaller fish and will need a tank that has lots of live rock and alge as it feeds all day long. so a tank with ample of the above. The larger tang will get up to 14" and is a very active swimmer so lets say 220g or more.

Also known as the Lieutenant Tang, this fish is great except for one thing—They're never available! Be sure to jump on them fast when in stock, because they're not only rare, they're typically available no more than a few at a time, at best. This handsome fish has a more peaceful disposition. The tanks should have a sand bottom for A. olivaceous to feed off of If keeping this with other surgeonfishes you should add this species to the aquarium first. This species is not as aggressive toward its tankmates, but only one should be kept per. It is usually not aggressive towards other fishes.
Large $149.00

This species is reddish-brown with lighter lines running down the body and a yellow ring around the eye. It is an active species that will graze on microalgae growing on the aquarium glass and décor. It is a passive tang that makes a great community fish. Very popular as a "maintainance" tang.

One of the Holy Grails of Tangs, the Dussumieri is seldom seen in the trade.
AVAILABILITY NOTE
This is a rare and popular item. To have a shot at getting one, you'll need to get on the waiting list and be prepared to jump on it immediately. This fish sells in an instant.
Large $299.00
X-Large $349.00
Show $399.00

Thanks for all the info. What do you think would be the most peaceful, colorful, easy to care for and not so common tang for a 125g reef? Also probably nothing priced over $60-$70.
