    I am in trouble if she can somehow revoke my degree...I will post pics soon of my tank progress. It's not worthy to have pictures of it taken yet...

    Obviously you dont know what pics mean to Luna ;). Even just a pic of an empty tank and rocks on the floor in front of it may save your degree ;D

    Good stuff dude. The 55 is going to be the FOWLR for the angels and butterfly's right? I really like angels and butterfly's too, but I dont know if i could do a fish only. My love for corals turns everything I touch into a full-blown reef tank.
    How many tanks you got set-up now? I'm starting a new one soon, too. A 125 gallon reef ;D

    Yes thats some LR hanging from fishing string, the hermits/crabs/snails jumped on that like if it was cake...

    Right now i have the 20 gallon that will hold corals and a clown,blue tang, and a mandarin goby in the future.

    A 55 that will be FOWLR (stepdads). This tank will have all types of angelfish and butterfly fish we catch when we go fishing.

    My mother has a 20 gallon with freshwater (3 orange fish, one large sucker, and one little green puffer i got like a week ago)...

    I hope that your not going to put a Blue Tang in a 20g tank? BT should be kept in at least 100g and the Mandarin is ok in a 20g, but you should research on it. They need well est. systems to thrive. Luna

    I will be putting a little 1/2 inch to 1 inch long (head to tail) blue tang and when it gets big, into the bigger tank and when it gets bigger, i think i should have a 125 gallon by then, so it will all be alright. As for the mandarin goby, not planning on putting him in for like 6 months after i add my corals. I might get a sand sifting blenny or goby first, most likely not. I am not sure yet, i only want to have 2-3 fish in the 20 gallon, maybe 4.
