You might be right sphelps, I will grab some more photos of flash right away here so we can try and make a positive ID. What ever he is he eats nori right out of my hand and has to be the funniest fish I have ever watched so I'm happy to send him to the 170.

TANK IS BUILT!!! All i can say is WOW, if anyone's looking for custom tanks give Colby at elite a call. The tank has beveled edges, is completely polished, has a sweet over flow, Euro braced and has to be one of the nicest tanks I have ever seen in person! Can't wait to set it up.

Some photos:
These are the 2 tanks that will be torn down and transferred to the new one. Should be fun, 3 hours of aquascaping is like 3 hours of expensive sweedish massage for me !





The stand and its location:


Placing it here will work great as you can completely see the tank from 3 sides. The transfer should happen within the next week ! I will make sure to photo document the whole thing so everyone can see.

Here' some more photos of Flash Sphelps, any ideas? He eats like a pig and will practically eat everything. I think hes around a year old now and is just starting to develop a tail spike. At night time he goes ghost white during the day he's the colors pictured.

He looks like a Bariene Tang possibly

I hope your right Leah that would be amazing!!! I guess I will have to wait and find out. Here is what live aquaria has to say about it.

The Black Spot Tang, also known as the Black Spot Surgeonfish, is a hard-to-find gem for advanced aquarists. While juveniles may not feature standout coloration, with maturity and proper care, this fish develops beautiful orange accent markings against deep blues, blacks, and browns.

I payed like $25.00 for him so if he turned out to be a Black spot that would be a ridiculous find!

He is gorgeous and very rolly polly too! Fantastic deal, did you post a picture of him before?

Updated with some photos on the front page. Added the Styrofoam/ plywood board under the tank.

Have you decided how long you will wait before you fill it? Looks great by the way!

I'm going to compromise and try it fill it on the weekend, I will keep everyone updated though. Going to pick up the bulk heads and plumbing material today.
