UPDATE: Tang actually getting better..
got my LEDS in am going to set them up soon and post pics.
had my first OFFICIAL water test of almost every element done today.. it goes like this..
Sg: 1.028 (i know.. high. i immediately fixed it as i got home.)
ammonia- 0 ppm
nitrite- 0 ppm
nitrate- 0 ppm!!
pH- 8.4
alkalinity (?)- 200 ppm
calcium- high 560 ppm. i was dosing too much calcium without magnesium, which i am told helps control calcium levels and helps it be more useful) i bought some magnesium
chlorine- 0 ppm
magnesium- 1020 ppm (low

I need fish help! If you guys are here tell me what you think of these fish:
Rectangular/reef trigger
Choati wrasse
Six-bar wrasse
Radiant wrasse
ANY type of leopard wrassei could keep?
Any mandarin/dragonets that don't need a life supply of copepods?
Purple queen anthias
Pink square anthias
Lyretail anthias
If you have any suggestions of what I should get I'd love to know!

I'm not familiar with the fish you have selected, you have an aweful lot of simular body types and that USUALLY (not always) spells a problem. All mandarins need copepods a refugium will remedy that and it isn't hard to do, they even have HOB types that would do just fine to keep a mandarin happy.
Here is a book I have used for years to select my fish, it has saved me a ton of money and headaches
And a page so you can see the good info it offers

I actually forgot about it, but I have it! I'll check it out. So you do t know anything about the anthias or the leopard wrasses? I've heard leopard wrasses are really hard but there's so many types of them. I'd love a leopard wrasse.
I guess my problem is..and why you haven't heard of these is because I don't like the common fish most people i have. I like the unique ones, which probably isn't good

Thinking for next stock:
Maybe a powder blue? I know that's kinda pushing it
Some really colorful wrasse
Thinking more maybe on the adventurous side..anglerfish? Scorpionfish? Small shark/ray?Puffer? I've read up some of these and I know I could do it if i really wanted.
