its a good looking tank and will look even better with corals! what size tank is it? looks sort of small for a blue tang and a foxface.
if i could suggest a background. makes a huge difference

well IMO black looks the best. picture ones draw attention away from your tank.
what are the dimensions of the tank?
and is that an oddysea canister filter?

ah i had a feeling.... i thought that the tank might not be a 55 gallon.
check this link
http://www.fishfriend.com/tank_volume_calculator.html
i plugged in ur tank dimensions and it said 30 gallons.
on 55 gallons they have a crossbar after 24 inches of length. i saw that you only had i light as 55's normally have 2. 2 24" lights.
please dont take this a flaming or n e thing. Just wanted to let u know

yeah.... you would probably have to buy a different light for corals.

dude that totally sucks. I would call and complain to them asap. like tonight if its not too late or tomorow and demand a 55 gallon tank like you purchased!
But if you do you will need to buy a stand for it as i would not trust a nightstand etc.

i would carefully watch the blue tang and the foxface for disease. IMO blue tangs need a 90 gallon minumum and a foxface a 55 minimum. Belive me its hard to resist a blue tang as I have a 55 gallon reef

wow that sucks. well you could always keep the tank and get rid of the foxface and blue tang. have a stock list like
2 clowns
1 sixline
1 yello watchmen or a pygmy angel
something like that.
with this size tank it would also cost less for you to buy a ligt and have corals

Damnit it was like 300 something when I bought it. It was 10 percent off. It was more because it was glass. This totally sucks. Ah well. Down the line I will get a bigger tank. It sucks cause I had a choice of that 55 gallon and a 90 gallon corner. I should have gone for the 90 gallon corner with the stand. Ah well when I get my own place I will go for something really big.
