The tank looked a little low so I went out and bought 40 more pounds of LR and rearranged the whole tank. I will probably get more but if I get too much at one time there are always pieces I can't get to fit anywhere.

Tank looks great, I would probably just add some base rock, to keep the price down. But I like a high wall, but your's looks good now.

There is no way I would ever imagine putting an achilles tang in a 55. He probably wouldn't last a month they love to swim in high current, more so than the other tangs. He eats frozen brine and seaweed and loves to graze on the rocks. I also have a chevron tang and a sailfin tang in that tank. The shark doesn't mind the lights at all, the rocks have a lot of caves that suit him right now but he still comes out during the day. Another thing about the Achilles tang is that they get sick very easy so don't be surprised if he gets a small case of ick. Mine did but I let him be and when he wasn't stressed anymore he was just fine.

Yeh, Dragon wrasses are a very big risk to a reef tank. They don't eat coral but they like to move rock, eat snails, and mess with feather dusters. He's one of my favorite fish in the tank and so far has been a model citizen but I have heard bad stories about them.

Sweet! As I type I have a full 60 gallon tank and an empty 125 so I am going to be doing the same thing in the next couple of weeks. What are the dimensions of your 125 and what do ya got for filtration on it?

First off thanks for the compliments.
firedad720, look about 3 reply above yours about the dragon wrasse other than that he is one of the cheapest fish in the tank (like $25). You have to be real careful with them especially around snails and feather dusters.
Scotts, its a standard 125g 72"long 18"deep and I forget the height. As for filtration it has a Sealife Systems sump (made for a 200g), a Nautilus te protein skimmer, a 25 watt UV Sterilizer, and Mag drives to make all of that work.
tru conch, the very first pic was of my 55 which both anemones were long tentacles, when I moved I took the one on the left into the 125 and got a Bubble Tip for my gold-striped maroon clown. The blue one in the 125 pics is actually the brown one on the left of the pic in the 55g. And yes for some reason all of my anemones grow freakishly huge quickly.

Have you had any problems with the Maroon and the two Percs being in the same tank?
I am setting up a 180 as we speak and have a Gold Stripe in my 75 (about 3") and 2 Percs in my 90 (about 1.5") that I would love to put in the 180 together but was affraid that the Gold Stripe would not allow it.
