    Ill have to give the Live Macros a shot :).

    I definitely want to get a bigger tank. When a friend move's hes going to be giving me his 200g... I forget the measurements. I do believe its almost 8' long at least. One thing that has been tough is every site/book I look at gives me a different size tank for each fish... Nothing really seems to be set in stone. The highest I saw the Naso Tang at was 180g... from doing all my research on it for that. (I've done more book searching on it then I have online though)

    Hence banking on the 200g tank within the next year. Basically said, If you want it come and carry it out yourself! LOL.

    I have seen an adult naso tang at an LFS make a frag display tank with an 8 x 3 footprint look cramped. If you have to keep the naso I would hold off on the angel and at least 1 of the fox faces until you get the bigger tank . . . just my opinion. If you dont end up getting the bigger tank and have to keep the 120 long term you would be closer to 1" of adult fish per 3 gallons or so which would be a lot better than the original list.

    Ill keep that in mind iLLwiLL. As pretty as the naso's are I think Im gonna hold off... and just be content with my current fish considering everyone is happy and disease free as of right now :).

    Unfortunately Luna the Naso didnt take to any of the food, (even drove an hour and got live brine, no macros unfortunately) and when I got home from work just now he was passed away in the corner... :(.
