Thought I would post pics of my 150. I just started adding corals a few months ago (a few frogspawn, green start polyps and a mushroom)
Stock List...
Blue Hippo Tang
Sailfin Tang
Lyretail Anthias (1 male, 2 female)
False Perculas (3)
Bicolor Blenny
Fridmani
Royal Gramma
Barred Goby
Coral Banded Shrimp
Cleaner Shrimp
Peppermint Shrimp (3)
Emerald Crab
Brittle Star
Hermits/Snails
Want to add more tangs and maybe dwarf angels, but I'm wary about them.

Nice looking tank!

Guess what? I have a few left over Baby Bangaii Cardinals that still need good homes. I had a few people back out. So if you want one, or two, let me know. Not sure if you want to drive to the other side of the world (I'm in East Mesa, south of the 60) but if so just let me know. You might have to keep them down in your sump though, until they grow a bit more. Some of your larger fish may mistake them for food.
But, I see you have some plants that would give them a good hiding place.

Oh, and I have a Flame Angel and he does great. The only coral he picks at on occasion is the Xenia, but he never hurts it. He's been a great addition to my reef tank.

No those plants are totally plastic. I plan on pulling them out once I get the tank stocked with corals. They were originally put in to provide some color.

I would love the Bangaii's.
I have tried 2 in the past and have not had luck though.
I could put them in my QT tank until they get bigger. It's too bad I didn't see this post until last night. We just spent the day down in Chandler on Sunday. I don't know when the next time I can make it down there, but I would be interested in them if you have no other takers.

I need to update with some pictures, but has anyone ever had snail babies in their tank? I had 3 large zebra turbo snails, the largest one (2-3 inches) kicked it about a month ago.
That's when I noticed I had some babies in there. Well last night I counted no less than 40! Will they last?

post some pics. I had some baby snails hatch in my sump, they seam to be doing fine, but most won't last because they don't have shells.

Here are some updated pictures of the tank. I moved a few of the corals around. In the last one, you can see a bunch of the baby snails that have appeared.

I've got about 175+ lbs of rock in there now and it's a 150 gallon tank. I am in holding pattern now as I might move soon. Once I know for sure, I will look at adding more corals and live rock.

Powder Brown Tang
Purple Firefish
Fire Shrimp
Orange Linckia Starfish
Some Xenia
