Yes. We bought a piece of live rock from this guys his old tank that he tore down. It had an anenome stuck on it and he tried to gently take it off. He couldn't so he just gave it to us. Its one of those $20.00 anemones. Its on this web site. Its name is Florida Condoi

Not sure If I should get a pair of naso or Blonde naso. Is it ok to mix this list together or should I Eliminate something else.

i already commented on your stocklist on the other thread. What are you gonna do for light? Are you going sps? The rockwork looks good, plenty of swimming room.

I think the revised list is a little better...A few too many Acanthurus Tangs on the original list (Clown and Sohal together in particular) which can be very aggressive toward themselves and other tangs...Achilles is a very hardy fish once established I had one for 5+ years, they just need good diet and great water, they are great fish and i'm sure will make a great addition to your tank....Can't wait to follow your progress.

If you are going to eliminate, I would look at the Vlamingi first, they get really really big.

Cant you catch them once they get to big and replace it with a small one

You can do anything you want...I would prefer to house any fish I get for life...Certainly you have a tank big enough to do so, I am just saying I have seen Vlamingi Tangs even get 16 inch long in captivity, its quite a commitment, they are cool fish, just a lot of tangs I like more that take up less of your tank and bioload capacity.

Looks like it's coming along nicely.
IMO you're going to want a larger clean-up-crew, especially with all of the fish you plan on adding.

Thank you for you two for telling me. Now I know at least what lps and sps corals stand for. Someone asked a question if i was going to have sps corals. Well your answer is Im going to have both sps and lps corals.There should be enough lighting. It comes down to about 4.5 watts per gallon.

Watts per gallon is not really a good way to measure the amount of light you need. Its more about PAR than watts. What kind of lights are they and how many are there?
