Wow, cool tank man. Is that a huge piece of slate that yer rocks are on?
lol. Thas actually kinda cool. Makes some nice cavage. One thing though. Im not gonna say anything about the sailfin and the yellow, but I hear that vlaminqui tangs need LOTS of space to swim. I think they need 200 gallons. If hes happy, then fine, but they need tons of room. Other than that fish, yer all good. Totally sweet tank. I wish.....

yea, i know the vlmangi will get big, now he's small so it's cool. i'm upgrading to a new house next year so that means new tank. i'm thinking 300 gallon, but that all depends on my fiancee. she's the boss.

Hmm, 20th century is sooo much different. Remember wen the men made all of the calls? Probably not, but we used to!!
. He might need to go sooner than u think though. He still needs a ton of swimming room, just like a regal tang. 300 oughtta do it though

thanks, it's a piece of glass i have my rocks on, i don't like them touching the sand and getting sand in all the pores, that's the reason for the level. plus it adds more space for the fish to hide. the t5 actinics really look cool when i turn off the white, there's two ballasts in there so i have them on separate timers to give the fish alittle more realism. as much as i can provide at least. the wierd thing about my tank is the ocelaris clowns would rather host in a sand hole that they made then in a ritteri anemone. otherwise all of them seem happy. and yes, my fiacee is the boss, i like to say that it makes her happy. as long as she's happy and buys me my 300 gallon, i'm happy....
