also, i love the hippo
Email me NapoleonDynamite15@hotmail.com I need to know where I can get this.

Well, first I was Pitbull01, and you know the story on that one, I got the boot. Then I was DevilDog01-this was when Vietboi got mad at me and he knew my password (long story, needed help w/avatar) and he got ticked and changed my password and put my location as gayville, etc, then I was Adam747, and for some reason, that one doesnt work anymore, and now I am Space_Geek. Well, I am not 100% sure what I want to put in the 150. I know I want a zebra angel and a moorish idol. (dont yell, LFS has them a LOT already eating) I am not really sure what else. Everything that is currently in the 55 will go in the 150. Any ideas for what I should put in the 150?

Thats kind of what I was thinking. I also want a school of green chromis and a couple of anthias. Maybe some other small stuff, I dont know yet. I am going to have a large sump/fuge so, well, yeah.

Well, the 150 wont be cycled for about a year and a half yet, plus I am getting the 4 footer 150. 48x24x30. So, the fixture I am getting for the 55 will be supplemental for the 150.

tank looks good whatever sand you decide to use

ol... I didnt know that it would be the same length as your 55. That will work out good then. What all does the light have? Whats the wattages? The only thing is most tangs full grown need a 6ft or longer tank. So that rules out some tangs. Now you'll have some room to build your rocks out.

Well, for the 150 I will have 2 400 watt SE MH 20,000k lights, plus the lights that are going on the 55 (542 watt) it has two double ended metal halides and power compacts (not sure how many-too lazy to look) I understand that people say tangs need 6 ft of swimming space but look at Junkiebeas's tank!! He has a NASO in his 55! I cant wait to do my rockwork for it...I think I am going to go with the canyon look.

sounds like you'll have a awesome lighting system. I see what your saying. But I dont agree with keeping a naso in a 55. IMO Yellow, purple, and kole, and a few other tangs would do fine in most 4ft tanks. You might could get by with a naso or hippoin a 4ft tank for awhile, but they would evenually get to big and not be very happy. But like my lfs friend told me, just buy them small and enjoy them for as long as you can. Where are you going to buy your tank from?
