yes it is a powder blue. as far as upkeep, I have been told to feed them algae sheets and give them plent of swimming room. I have wanted some tangs forever but had to wait til I got a bigger tank, so now I have em.LOL
the lighting is a 72 inch odyssea 785 watt. 3-175 watt mh and 2-130 watt actinics. I know, I have read all about the Odyssea lights but I personally haven't had anything but good luck with them so far. The fans on it and the ballasts all work fine and r quiet. I also have a stand fan blowing on the ballast to help keep it cool.

Not my thread, but some advice anyway
I hope you have yours in a QT tank. I had a PB in my 150. It was to large to QT in my 10 gal, so I put him directly in my DT, he was pretty big, and nice and fat. Also, he was alone in a tank at my lfs, for 3 weeks, so I figured I was safe even though PB are prone to ich.WRONG!!! 2 weeks in my tank and he got ich, lost him
Heres a pic right after i acclaimated him, very healthy looking right? Good luck, they are the most striking tang IMO

it is alittle harder to maintain form the back but not too much. I turn the overflows down so they are not rippling the water so I can see in form the top and go to work. when I need to move alot of stuff I have three other guys I work with that have SW tanks and they usually are available to help in moving rock and such.
The benefit is that I am taking up no floor space in my living room. There is absolutley no noise form the overflows and pumps and skimmer. And I built the stand at a higher viewing height than most store bought stands so you can walk right up to it and look around
Overall, I am delighted with the outcome of the tank. I will post more pics as I add more stuff

I'm sure glad to hear some positive comments about the odyssea lights.All I seem to hear is people calling them crap but it's kind of funny becuase most of the people calling them crap never owned them.They heard a couple of stories from others and just ran with it.I've been doing alot of research on them and I'm hearing that their 2006 models are alot better than the previous, so it sounds like they're working out their kinks.I'll get a unit soon enough..........could you take a couple pics of it if at all possible.Oh yeah nice tank I'm jealous now
