    Might be too new of a tank for that blue tang. I'll be surprised if your not posting about his ick in the next few days. Go slow and good luck.
    How long has it been set up, and how long did it take to cycle?

    It has been setup since beginning of sept, i let it cycle for 6 weeks untill my ammonia spiked and then was non existant have had the tang in there now for about 3 weeks had ick but a quick water change seemed to take care of her ok. seems happy now.

    looks good, hope nitrite is non existant also. I would wait a while before adding anything else. addind 3 fish right off the bat could make your params outta whack until your tank adjusts to the bio-load.

    nice looking tank, but you could use a few more pounds of LR :)

    Thanks for the input man i did have a recent spike in my nitrates hence the water change, my skimmer is up and running now and i've seen a huge improvement in the water quality.i forgot i also have a green goby and some turbo (pain in the ass) snails. Happy reefing.
