Very nice tank!
How long have you had the Atlantic Blue tang? They are infamous for doing absolutely horrible in aquariums when not kept in schools so I am curious how long you have kept yours for so far..

i have had the Atlantic for about 2+ months, he is a fantastic eater and very active. never had one problem with him eating yet. he loves mysis shrimp, he gets most of it before the others do, but they still get enough and they also eat great.

Yeah, they are not usually a finicky eater, but they usually break down with a very bad bacterial infection in the course of 4 to 6 months. I hope yours does well though!
Here is a pic of what the bacterial infection usually looks like at its peak.

No, it is not. I use that picture as an example because I have seen it happen to many Atlantic Blues. This was a picture from someone in the disease thread. Regardless, if it a very common occurence in this type of tang.
The best way to prevent this is proper diet and good water quality. I am not sure that that is what causes this to happen, but that is a good rule of thumb to follow regardless.
