    nice tank.
    You could eventually upgrade your light, 42 1 watt leds is not enough to grow alot of coral. The light is described for being for a FOWLR or a cichlid tank.
    As well the Blue tang is small now, but many including myself will say the tank only being 36" is far too small a home and will need to be rehomed eventually.

    tons, whats your budget, and what would you like to keep ultimately... sps, mixed reef, lps?
    Reef Breeders is a great option if your on a budget, if your looking for somehting with a better design or ontrollability the AI vega is a great light, or the Maxspect Razor( I currently use this and love it, looks incredible on top of a rimless tank.) Or even the radion G2 or Pro.
