Lennon,
I am sorry I did not reply been in and out on bisness lately. Yes I am looking to order it in about two weeks if all works out. Please keep in touch. I have been into alot of the Saltwater fish stores in central Fl and all have told me that a 65 gal is a good starting point. However they also told me that if I have the room go bigger but I do not have the room, unless you know of somewone that can make a take to fit into a 44 long buy 23 deep spot next to my fire place.

Oh please Bella,
I decided last spring to start a saltwater. I was first looking for a mere 55, but the space I have in my house only allowed for a 37gal, so that's what I got. So far, everything has been right on target and going very nicely...that's not to say without a bit of effort. The smaller the tank, the more maintenance you need to do, but that gets to be routine. Actually I've found that that maintenance is really very relaxing, and you find that your critters seem so appreciative...well, I really love taking care of my tank!!
Go with the size that you can handle and afford, money and space wise, and most of all, have fun with it!!
Dboy, Really, REALLY awesome tank...wish I could have one like that, but alas, I may have to go for multiple tanks instead...great job!!!

yeah the achilles is one of my favs.. im thinkin though with three fish out of the same genus you may have an issue, more so of the naso towards the achilles...........but then again it is a big tank and plenty of space for all of them....hope it works out, i really like those tangs, my fav 3 are achilles, white cheek(my avatar), and naso.. but ill never be able to have all three if you get two of the three ill be jealous, wait what am i saying, look at your set up, i already am!!!
