    Go for the yellow tang if you want it. Get one small, then upgrade later, or sell it back. If you want one get one. Opinions are just that.

    Like my opinion, that 5 fish are too many for a 30g tank? ;-)

    That opinion of mine is a learned one form good DT keeping rules of thumb for waste export, bioload assimilation, etc;

    Nice job on the tank, keep up the good work, and welcome to 3 Reef!

    Thank you for your opinion Todd. I am very patient, and will certainly not rush in introducing my livestock! The only time I plan on adding multiple fish simultaneously is when I finish off with the pair of clowns. Thanks for the welcome as well, I really love this site so far. I really enjoyed reading the posts on the forums about mangroves; I really want to add some to my refuge!

    Looking good. I can see why you're anxious to get some life in there! Not trying to derail the thread, but where can one purchase ORA mandarins and has anyone had them and what was your experience? I really, really want a pair of mandarins.....

    A simple google search will likely lead to to a site that sells them... however, on the ORA site they very clearly state that ORA fish can be special ordered from any fish store that has a contract with them! (maybe save on shipping that way, but with a longer wait..?)

    So I ordered some more snails to keep my currently algae bloom under control.. Here is a shot of the "fifteen" dwarf ceriths I ordered from ReefCleaners. Needless to say, I am a satisfied customer :)
