    Good selection of lights and running Ecobak is what I can attribute the great colors and health to.

    Thanks so much! I really researched and thought about my list of fish. Being that my tank is 27" tall, I knew I would have plenty of open water area. So I knew chromis were a must. And the 2 tangs are what I think will work well in a 90. The only fish that I got that wasn't on my list was the McKoskers fairy wrasse. But he is totally awesome, and I couldnt resist him. I think the order of putting them is was essential as well.

    1. 2 clowns
    2. 3 chromis
    3. diamond goby
    4. midas blenny
    5. McKoskers
    6. Yellow and Kole Tang (same day)
    7. Melanurus Wrasse (largest fish in tank)
    8. Cleaner Wrasse (small, but everyone inherently knew what he was there for)

    LOL and who says simple isnt beat ;D

    tank looks good and how often do you have to change the ecobak out? I have a canister filter lying around tha may need to be used now.

    You dont change it out, you just replenish what is used up. I havent had to replenish any yet. it depends on your bio-load and I'm going on 8 months now. GFO will kill your wallet!

    Are you running a skimmer? I'm thinking about the ecobak route but I want to do it skimmerless.
