He is a little shy when you are right by the tank.But when you are just sitting in the roon on the couch he comes out alot.And I like it vary much.I dont know about the sand bed.I have about 2 inches in tank.And for no more than I paid for him.He can hide all he wants.I looked at you pics you have posted of you 90.Looks good.What kind of fish do you plan on putting in it?

As far as fish this is what i have for a fish list for what i want when we re do my house we are building a game room so we want to put in in the wall tank.. prolly around 125.
it wont be for a few years.although the game room is being done this year some time. prollybe done around june. or begining of winter agin in mabe december
i would like
yellow tang
hippo tang
2x clown
2xb/g chromis
pink spot shrimp goby
scissortail dart fish
coral beauty
if i do go with a hippo then im not going to put in the angel.
i figures tht i would put htem in the tank at the same size/time
if tht dont owkr thne ill ad another hippo or a kole or bristle tooth.

:cheer: LOVE ALL OF THEM!!!! I'm HUGE Hippo fan. Wish I could say the one in my avatar is mine, but I stole it from Frank. Maybe he can pipe in here and show the full picture that actually has two in the full frame shot. Can't wait until my tank is set up and it's time to add my very own Hippo.

Everything I've been told is that they need at least 125 gallon long, as they are big swimmers. But I believe there are a few here that have smaller tanks with Hippos. Just try and avoid the tang police.
