    I like the size, mine is a 65, same footprint as yours just taller. I am also concerned that the mandarin will not do so well. Usually you have to wait till a tank is very well established, but its certainly not the rule. The Tang will certainly need a new home one day. Great looking tank so far though. Cant wait to see some corals in it. I really like the rock placement.

    well it has been a while, i haven't had much activity here in the forum! because everything has gone excellent in my tank! my fish and corals are growing, i have changed quite a bit added more LR and other things! now i need help! i want to add more corals, i would like for some suggestions on what to add, i would like corals that handle high current because on the left side of my tank its like that and i have no coral growing there most are on the middle and on the right! i have already thought of the Chili Coral! and the Acropora-Frogskin!,, any suggestion would be more than welcomed thanks!

    This is just wrong. You need at least a 100 gallon to house all those fish you have. It would be like us living in a 5' by 5' room for our whole lives. I believe this is cruel and your tank should be taken away until you realize what you are doing to these poor creatures.

    wow. i agree but not os harshly. the tangs are much too big for a tank like that. the other fish are ok. maybe not the mandarin. find the tangs a new home.
