    to a 110gal reef tank? i was thinking maybe a regal tang but im not sure if it would do well with what i have already. i know im going to add 3-4 green chromis. mine died a few weeks ago, i had him over a year and i got him from a friend that had him 8 years so i think he did fairly well.

    also what are some good places to order fish from?

    i have in there now
    1 scopas tang
    2 false perc
    1 coral beauty
    1 scooter blenny

    If you decide to get another tang, try introducing it at night when all the lights are off. It worked for me. Luna

    Are there any good LFS near you? Someone that deals just in fish? I wouldn't get anything over the Internet unless there is no other choice. You cannot observe the livestock properly. In terms of new additions, what else do you have in your tank? Corals, etc.? LR? LS? Inverts?

    edit: you said reef tank.....Missed that.

    Another tang would probably work as long as it doesn't look like your scopas. A hippo tang that is about the same size would be an example.

    Thanks for the info. i may try the regal tang, i'll just make sure that where i get it from will take it back if i have problems, i do have a good lfs but with it being summer they are kinda slow so they dont have much of a selection, i'll probably wait on them to get some things in.

    im not sure how many green chromis to get either, i've read that if you get less than 6 the larger one will pick the smaller off one by one?

    My wife's favorite fish in the tank is the Lawnmower blenny. Rather plain looking, but it is really cool. The eyebrows rock.

    Are those the ones that burrow and mess up your rocks? Would it get a long with a Canary Blenny?

    I cannot remember which one that is. Mine just cruises around eating the algae off the glass and rocks. He is constantly nibbling. He is good at camouflage. I named him Waldo. Each morning when the actinics click on, I play the game, Where's Waldo. Yet another geek thing I do.
