Yeah I think about 4 tangs... but anything more would just be unreasonable. I was thinking a Soho, powder blue, xxl nasso and an achillies. But we'll see how they do in the 7 gallon. If they are nice and peaceful, i'll try a couple more!!

:twised:

I thought the "rule of thumb" was 1 Tang per Gallon of water? Only 4 would be really conservative! :wink:

Tang police will definitely avoid you for that :)

New update today.

Got sick of not having any frags in there. My CREE's have yet to arrive, and I was getting restless... So I put the Ikea LED's into a 150W Metal Halide Pendant and hung that over the tank for now.

I also Put another 4 Pieces of rock from my other tank in there.

I got a few frags from my other tank:

2 heads of Hammer Coral
6 heads of Green Candycane
3 Kenya tree frags... They tend to drop a baby every day in my other tank...

And a couple little things have sprung up from the rock I put in there. A green Paly, and a blue spotted mushroom came from nowhere lol.

They are fully adjustable to any color temp. I have two full sets, so I can adjust to have two different colors going at one time. I currently am running royal blue and pink. Looks good with the 14K halide running. Provides some good color pop, but are pretty much useless at growing corals. The mushroom was shrivled and looking nasty under the LED's, and I noticed that the coraline was turning white in some places. Now with the halide back over everything is looking awesome.

I wouldn't buy these for anything other than making some colors come out.

I actually bought these because I have an alternate use for them after the tank. I'm using them as their desinged purpose, which is under cabinet lighting.
