Everything looks great. Kind of funny, the fish have that big, huge tank and they seem to favor that one side.
i know, isnt your tank 10' long? did you put food over there or something? they all stick together too, i like the yellow tang school.

Do you have any more pics of the White Cheeks tang? How much did you pay for him if you don't mind me asking?

I got some inverts for the clean up crew. Had to guess on this one as to the quanities, Didn't really know how many this size tank would need. So I bought 100 Astrea turbo snails, 50 Nassarius snails, 5 Queen Conch, 5 Emerald crabs, 100 Scarlet hermit crabs, 100 Dwarf Blue Leg hermit crabs, and 5 Peppermint shrimp. I already had 10 Turbo snails & 4 cleaner shrimp in the tank.

The Naso & Yellow tang thought that they were getting lunch. The new Peppermint shrimp were smaller than expected and may have become lunch for some of the larger fish. I had been feeding the tank live marine shrimp and the new Peppermints may have gotten mistaken for food.......

LOL..You aren't kidding. Looked this morning and had same problem. I knew that I would probably need more. Just ordered another 100 Astrea & Nassarius snails, 100 Blue leg & 100 Scarlet crabs, 5 more Emerald crabs, and 6 Cucumbers. The conches I got yesterday were small, 1/2 - 1" and if they start getting too large, I have some other tanks I could throw them in.
