Nice job Josh, but I would think twice about a Copper Ban Butterfly if I was you. I have had 2 now in my 8' tank, both ate mysis like a little piggy but then stopped eating suddenly and died. Some people have had great luck with them but the track record is not good.

I would get a Sailfin Tang, a Powder Blue Tang and a Naso Tang in that big boy.

Just my opinion.:biggrin:
