ya ya ya ...... I gotchya. Mr. Emperor! :) My LFS has this blue face that has been there for like 8 months now in this little box. I feel so bad for the bkue man. Told the dealer that if no one buys him I'm takin him home..... atleast he will have bigger space to swim in. Right now he's in this 12" x 12 cell.
I know... I know...... 56 is to small but geesh I feeel for the critter.
I was wondering about school cuz your on SWF all the time!! Lol
I got the Wave Point. It is similar to the ones your mom has on her 29. It has 4 bulbs but no moons. MLFS had it on his DT for years and got something new and gave me a HUGE deal on it.

At the risk of incurring the wrath of the tang police, a juvenile Kole or Tomini tank wouldn't be beyond the pale for a 56 gallon tank. If you chose to do this, I would recommend you center your rockwork so the fish would have 360 degrees of freedom to swim (one large circle, in other words...) and build the rockwork UP to compensate. Keep in mind that either fish would eventually outgrow the tank, so make arrangements with another fishkeeper or LFS to swap out....possibly in as little as 18 months from initial purchase! If you have a solid reputation with a LFS, you might convince them to "trade in" your subadult tang for another juvenile, thus continuing the cycle.
I would only suggest trying this AFTER you have some experience under your belt with your tank. Give the new tank plenty of time to mature, and give yourself time to really get used to the little quirks of this particular tank as well. Also, I'm serious about the species.....I don't think there are ANY other tangs that would be acceptable. Consider the Tomini....a very beautiful small tang, and you could call it a "gift to yourself" for a job well done when the tank is a year old.

Hey Spanko, you remember the tang police GIF with the car? You know, I remember someone adding a GIRL in the car as well...nudge nudge, wink wink, say no more.....

His new lights are making my new lights look not so bright in comparsion. BIG SIGH. We should have moved the new tank further away so we couldn't compare! The tank is off to a great start hunny! Your fish are gonna love having more space. Still don't think the trigger will fit in your new tank.
