Tang are cool, I would consider maybe cutting back on clean up crew, tang eat the green stuff!

 

[fedukeford]

blue tangs are a different group of tangs that dont eat too much algea

 

[reefrobert]

must be the yellow tangs that are is that group!
So many fish with different needs

 

[fedukeford]

yup the species Zambrossa are the main algea eaters (the ones shaped like yellow and sailfin tangs)

Holy Crap! Your tank looks great. Cant wait till ya get some fish. Any recent pictures?

 

[hot883]

Jordan, is the sump loud with the water dropping into it like that? If it is you can extend your line INTO the water and almost completely eliminate the noise. Looking good though.

 

[fedukeford]

nope its not loud at all i guess i should update the pics, i now have a berlin sock hanging off that line, and the skimmer running on the other line, ill also take a few pics of the inhabatints on the tank
