that's what I was thinking....both species actually. Clowns are personable and always out and about, so that'll be nice....and the Basslet is just a bad ass little fish

i think this tank is going to be pretty cool, especially when you start to add some baller acans, zoas, lets hope for a few smoking SPS too.

oh god...I knew someone would mention SPS...I want to keep this tank low maintenance....but I guess I could get a few easier ones....DAMNIT JOHN!

Everyone's tank eventually becomes an SPS one. Seriously.

The only thing more inevitable is an upgrade.

It's just much cheaper to do it now than later ;)

get a yellow assessor.
The blues are really cryptic and dont like movement outside the tank.

the yellows are way braver and better bang for buck for that reason.

haha no room for an upgrade. We are a tattoo shop, so have to have the flash on the walls as the main focus of the shop...but what's nice about a 20 gallon long is the 30 inches of length that will give it an illusion of being a larger tank. I've even been considering doing a foam back wall with some ledges and then leaving the front open for swimming. Two things really stop it from happening...A) I'm lazy and B) well...I'm lazy.

I would be all over some of those aqua cultured SPS from Doc. Foster some of those are pimpin.

I am sure which ever way you go, its goin to look awesome.

but IT would look way way more awesome with some ORA and Cherry corals SPS :lol!:

ha ha it would...and with the T5s I COULD realisticalls get some nicer SPS up near the top of the rockwork...afterall the tank is only 12inches tall...hmmmm....Damnit!

My 4 x 24W T5 is bleaching my new acros at the top of my tank. They're now on the sandbed acclimating to the lights. Shouldn't have any issue keeping SPS with T5s :)
