NP problem. I just think that, not that's there's anything wrong with a true fo/fowlr, but they really just add that extra bit to the tank.
Any chances of a good new pic/vid of the eel? Love to see him.
I can't get a decent pic of his whole body, but I thought this was a pretty good picture of his head in my Giant Cup Mushrooms, just got it.

I don't know fish all that well... I understand you have a big tank, but I always thought you could have only 1 angel. Then I see fish that SWF says is not reef safe. I ask because I wanted one of those blue striped angelfish, but it is listed as not reef safe..

The tank is awesome..I love the video.

I think SWF.com is responsible for the "angels can't be kept together" thinking. Not sure why they post an "alert" like they do. There are so many fish that do not do well together. For example I would never put an Achilles Tang with a Sohal Tang in my size tank. That said, I wouldn't recommend mixing Angels to a beginner, or in a small tank.
As far as corals. I really don't like the word "reef safe", but I won't go into that. I prefer fish to corals, so I try to get corals that my fish (Angels) will not likely bother, there is no guarantee, but thus far they don't bother any of the soft corals I have. Hard corals are really risky with Angels.

Kirk - looks great as always. I like the new rock formation as well.
The golden tail is SOOO SMALL...I forgot you had him.

SWF had that warning on there because some idiot would want to buy an Adult Emperor and Adult Blueface for his 55gal, and then they fight like cats and dogs and one ends up dead before the 15 day guarantee. Scott, the owner of SWF, has said that the warning is there for prevention, and he realizes keeping multiple angels together is possible. If you want to order two or more angels, and have a system able to handle them, let SWF know and they'll be happy to accommodate. The fact of the matter is that most people don't have tanks 'adequate' for most angels, let alone two...
As for corals, yep, if you are willing to mix and match, and risk a few, some corals and angels are definitely possible. Some corals have better chances, large softies and SPS, then others, LPS.
