those fish sound cool:)
personally i'd go for the B&W clowns, lil bit more expensive but look SOOO much cooler! and if you can, get them wild, then in about 6 months get an anemone, bubble tips are best cos they host most clowns, and if the B&W is wild it will go into the anemone, if its tank bred then they dont know wat an anemone is, so therefore will only go in if your lucky!
but yeh DONT get an anemone untill your tank is atleast 6 months old, there so hard to keep otherwise!.
otherwisee that all sounds good:)
yeh im thinking of gettin a manderin, but how do you know your tank is ready?
i know they need copepods or something? but what do they look like? lols

well mandarins are tough but they are very very cool! if you got live sand and live rock you probably have some copepods but you will need more. lots of rockwork for them to play around in. when you have enough copepods u should see some white specs on the glass. just like anemones you should age your tank at least 6 months before you get one.

hey anybody think that the tail spot blenny is a good choice with yellow watchmen and mandarins? because they spend some time on the bottom...

i have a bowfront...i dont think its hard to clean, but i wouldnt recommend one. the odd shape of it makes lighting fixtures a pain and can makes things difficult sometimes.

mhmm!!! the 2 125s and the 1 200 are both a pain to keep at the aquarium! although the 200 is fun its our chilled tank we keep lumpfish in it if we catch them!

the stocklist you mentioned on your first post is that final or have you changed it up
it isnt final i dont think im gonna keep the zebras on it maybe get something a little different... pajama cardinals look really nice at the lfs they have like twenty.
if anything else changes ill be sure to update. the flame hawk and flame dw angel are just in consideration... depending on the other inhabitants
