    Thanks LG:) about 18 more trips to the lfs, getting about 5 frags each time, and four years later the tank should look something like yours:)

    Added 2 clarkii clownfish and a starry Blenny:) I'll update with pics and everything when everyone gets used to their new home. When adding new members, I know you can reduce the aggression by keeping the lights off, but how long can corals go without light before they get ill effects?

    Looks like your off to a big start Billie. You may want to slow down on your fish adding and research a bit more. That gold rimmed tang(or powder brown) is too large a fish for a cube.
    Also you were writing about snowflakes or picassos and you ended up getting clarkii's. The clarkii clowns are quite aggressive towards other fish and will grow very territorial. I had to remove 1 clarkii from my 120 because she was hating everyone in her space. Your wrasse and snowflake list sounded great. What happened to that plan?

    couldnt find the fish, had to adjust the plan. i dont think ive added anything too fast, those first two were in there alone for about two months, and then i added a few more. as far as fish goes im done with that, and its a white cheek tang, not a powder brown, and hes very happy, thank you.
