Nice tank and fish!
Photobucket will give you the img code and just copy-paste them in here.
It will avoid all that extra text.

lots of snails and hermits to keep it clean, A g2 skimmer helps alot too..the tangs get along fine as long as they are the same size...give or take, and they have plenty of spots in the rock to call there own. My clown is a bit lost after her anemone died but she me made a home in a pink soft coral that I cant remember the name of
. I tried to get a pic of her in it but shes a bit shy. I'll keep tring hope to have more pics soon

well its not a matter of compatability its a matter of not enough swimming room, i assume this is the standard 75? 48"L? about 2-4' less than those tangs need. sry to flame, its a nice tank but u need to get those fish a bigger tank...

Why? there arent complaining. They are growing ang healthy. my blue tang started out in a nano reef, she was the size of a dime when I got her, she did just fine. i do have a 175. what I dont have is the $3000 for stand, hood lights, and skimmer (ect.). unless they get a job or someone wants to make a donation to the save the tang foundation in my honor, they will be fine

Nice Tang and Tank. I have question for you I also have 75 gallon tank and I'm just start learning to do some soft coral and couple easy hard coral in my tank. As of right now I have couple of soft coral most of it is mushroom. My question is what type of lighting do you use or have. My next question to you is I found and wanted to get Medal Halide called Current USA 48 inch Outer Orbit with T5s & 150W HQI Bulbs
Specification are:
2X150W MH Lamp 2x54w Actinic 460nm
2x54w Actinic 420nm 9 blue leds/9 white leds
529W/4.6 amps
516 watt output from the metal halide and T5s
Is that too much lighting for the coral or is it great idea to have that light. The reseason why I asked because I see other people that have 75gallon tank is using that. It seem to be that is great to use it so I still trying to gather information about until I make my decison to buy it and I really want to get it. Then I went to my LFS they said is going to be too much light and I will fried my coral. My last question is waht type of additivies to you add into the tank to keep you livestock inside the tank. So I'm really confuse
. Any suggestion or help :help: .
Thanx
Jay

cant make a $3000 donation, but i can make a suggestion. look for a skimmer in the medical profession
