    Great looking tank. I love the look of bow front tanks. Any plans as to what you are going to keep?

    Thanks. At this point I plan to add an orange & white and a black and white false percula clown, either a flame angel or yellowhead angel or both, a Spotted Mandarin Goby, and last a yellow tang. I don't know what corals, but my LFS is great to help. I'll also add some shrimp, crabs, clams etc for cleaning up. Sometime much later after I'm better at this stuff, I'd like to add either a Red Fromia or Red Tile Starfish. I know I don't want to overcrowd it, so I will definitely depend on my LFS to guide me there. Any thoughts on what you see?

    tank looks good but i dont agree on the tang on the stocking list. IMO tangs need at least a 90 gallon but again, thats just my opinion. I dont see one working in a 46 gallon unless its a really really small dwarf tang and you move it to a bigger tank as soon as it outgrows your tank.

    +1 to cira. i would scratch the tang. also for the mandarin, they are very tough to keep even when they are eating well. i dont think your tank would be able to house a big enough population of pods. these guys are small but they can really destroy pods fast. i lost mine because of this even while i had mine trained on frozen brine and bloodworms as well.

    but otherwise it looks great! i would just hate to see someone lose a fish the way i did. i didnt do enough research and jumped into getting one. when he died i was bummed out for a long time. :( you still have a while to wait for stocking anyway, so in the mean time research research research!!!!
