    Here we were thinking they always had it. So my Naso could be a boy huh, very interesting. What about a 250 cube? who makes great tanks here in NC? I would LOVE an over sized cube.

    I <3 cubes as well. Just purchased a 300 cube! Haven't picked it up yet but excited! I don't think tangs should go in cubes personally, as far as I've seen larger ones are taller than they are wide. Especially tangs that get so large since you're trying for 2. ... Not up and down swimmers... IMO they need length. Maybe you could do this if you're limiting yourself to rock just in the middle of your tank and they can swim round and round ;)

    My thoughts exactly, how many of you guys have seen these (below)? one of these would be sick, I contacted them ( Zeroedge ), they quoted me

    RIMLESS90-SET $3295.00 USD
    includes: Rimless GetAnEdge 90 gal tank, 36"x24"x24", 3/4" acrylic,
    Black 20" overflow w/ drybox & Geo silencer, Cabinet w/ choice of stain color,
    ZS1 sump, EDGE1 plumbing


    Rimless tanks..? I'm guessing that isn't the overflowing one (right?). Forgive me I've never seen anything like this but I'd love to have one.

    If you don't mind me asking.. How much did you pay for your 300 cube?

    Got some new additions!! :) pair of yellow watchmen, starry blenny ( LOVE THIS FISH ), tiger pistol shrimp. Pics coming soon.

    I would be lying if I said I wasn't a tad but jumpy on the purchase.. I have a Clean tank, only algea I grow is purple and Perty.. I keep red, green, and brown Nori on hand for horse face. I'm praying I can get the blenny on to it? Suggestions on a food product blennys enjoy?

    Added the group last night.. Haven't seen the smaller yellow watchmen.. Worries me. Bigger of the two has not stopped free swimming it's very peculiar.

    They hide a we bit. Just thought I would have seen him/her by now. Now that I think of it the pistol shrimp is MIA to.. Could be that together they equal 1.5 inches of animal..
