You should be taking pictures for magazines. Man do you ever have nice photo's. What kind of camera do you have?
No matter what I do I cannot get the nice clarity. Maybe it is my camera? Sony DSC-P71 3.2 mega pixel 3x optical 6x digital.

 

[crox]

Yeah
NM_reef your pictures are always beautiful

Great picture and regal! How old is he? Im thinking of getting a 2'' one for my 75. Then get a 180 once I get my job this summer. Of course i've gotta QT him for 6-8 weeks because the first time I got one remember what happened?

I learned that you MUST qt all new fish. :scared:

unbelivible regal tangs i never seen any like them

 

[evanish]

NM reef- How fast has your regal been growing? Ive heard some people say only 1-3'' a year but then heard someone say their's grew like 6'' in one year.

I've never heard them called Regal Tangs before. I always called them Hippo Tangs. Anyway, here's mine. 5 1/2" and growing.

 

[nm reef]

Latin name is Paracanthurus hepatus ...commonly known as regal or hippo tangs.
Mine has grown les than 3" per year and is currently maybe 6"-7"...a few very minor ich problems...overall a very nice addition in my opinion.

 

[evanish]

Mine will be in the qt for around 2 months and if he starts to show signs of ich or ill put him in hypo.
