    you may want to have the lfs hold him in the meantime, a 120 should work but these things will get like 18 inches long within a few years. i had one that grew from one inch to 9 inches in 8 months. i think it was on fishy steroids haha

    If your looking at the full tank pic...those are the star polyps they are green in the other photo.....took pics with my ipod so color is alittle off.... i do have some yellow polyps frags below those but they are hard to see just got them so they r still pretty small.

    Tank looks great Sodium

    the sailfin looks tiny to me, not much bigger than the clown
    they do grow quickly, but you have some time to make provisions IMO

    I think I see, Hammer, shrooms, Zoanthids and GSP in there so far?
    some close ups of the corals would be a good next move

    Steve

    tank not cycled with a Damsel?
    dont see one in there, and its a 55 - congrats

    the hammer is a frag i just bought the other day...i hope it does well. and ya mostly shrooms,polyps and zoos -im a big zoo fan. when i first got into saltwater i started with a 29g and did use a damsel...everything went well. then i upgraded to the 55 about 4 years ago. I figured i could just switch everything over and put more fish in..BIG MISTAKE lost everything and had to start all over because i was totally ignorant! so to answer your question the 2nd go around i didnt use anything just had to wait months for the cycle to complete before i went ahead. live and learn!
