Well just updating pics....tonight my hubby and I moved just a few rocks around to make sure our corals were tight and secure. We also added a few polyps....and a green brain...tell me what you think! ...ok I want opinions here! I will be adding another fish next week finally ...now you tank police, understand that I will be upgrading my tank next year.....should I get the blue tang or the naso tang...give me reasons for both or to not get one! thanks for your help all!

tank looks good....
i have a blue tang hes doing good... he has probably doubled in size or more since i got him like 4 months ago.... hes also good at picking at some of the algae that grows in my tank....
i think u can see him in the center of the picture

they are pretty hard i have a uv filter on my tank the only thing i noticed was he started to get lateral line erosion where they lose the color on their face and down the black mark.... i didnt realize i needed to feed him some formula 1 and 2 to give them there needed algae intake to keep there nutrients up for healthy growth...
i like him alot good fish
heres another pic

BTW hes gotten better after supplementing his diet with the algae for the last 3 months
thats the only bad thing i hear about blue tangs is lateral line erosion

awesome deal...that is so cheap!! I am still going back and forth on if I should have bought that naso today. they are holding him for me this week....until next weekend since I just put a couple of corals in....but they do have a blue tang, would probably let me swap if I called tomorrow right away...

he spends most of his time swimming.... if i approach the tank fast he will hide behind a rock and at night he wedges himself in the rocks but otherwise he swims around most of the day...
do you have one excile?>

Get the Naso ,They are much hardier and have more personality than the pretty but very shy and very ich prone hippo tangs

thank you, we have been working hard on it.... I just bought a naso tang, worried now I didn't make a good choice. We know we will be upgrading our tank next year much larger, but just worried about him. he is not even here yet, we left him for the week at the lfs so they could quarantine him for us.
