    lol, thanks Alex, yeah, the iPhone isn't cutting it, and maybe I shouldn't have got the fish, but a blue eyed kole was interesting enough for me to pull the trigger, was debating on adding a yellow eye for awhile now, and when this showed up, I decided to get it.
    Planning an upgrade so I can add some more tangs, def want a sailfin and a black tang. Although this guy is pretty dark already, we'll have to see what he looks like as an adult. He is new to the tank and was more traditional looking in the LFS, so he'll color back up as he gets comfortable.

    I love tangs too. One thing to caution though, a black and a sailfin will more than likely fight in anything less tan a 300+ I would imagine. Zebrasoma tangs dont like competition and the both get to about the same size.

    There is always the exception... I want a purple SOOO bad. Can i give you some tangs i found that I want as well? Pretty fish! Thats just a yellow and a kole in the 90 right

    I know vinny, I'm rolling the dice, I talked myself out of it for months, but then this guy showed up, eating great, small, cool colors, Sorry, had to do it, wish me luck;)

    thx bro;) What a football weekend huh??? WOW that was garbage

    Thanks for the heads up, now I need a 300+ gallon, thanks Alex, just cost me another few grand. But honestly thanks, those are kinda 2 must haves for an upgrade to be warranted.

    LOL, yeah, just the YT and new Kole in the 90, so far so good, and yes, I'll take blackbeard off your hands so you can get another tang!!!!!! But give me a few months for another upgrade.

    Lol he barely made the last transfer. Hes a great fish though, far more mellow than he should be.

    Ok first on my list is THIS guy. Acanthurus maculiceps of white freckled tang, they are rare in the hobby, but only grow to about 8 inches, plus they sorta look a little like a gem tang lol

    If he's that mellow, why not the purple??? lol

    And that thing is BADASS, when are ya getting it?? gonna refrain from looking up cost on it now, I'm already not liking the budget of the 220 upgrade, let alone the 300.

    Naw Ryan, I'm worried about blackbeard, not the purple tang. Plus I need to get a QT tank up before I add anything. All my clams are dead from something that came in on the last clam I got. I can't get this guy because my lavender tang is the same genus and HE is not very mellow. This is on my upgrade list too however.
