Best part about it Brett is that my bed and work desk are like 4 meters away from the tank. I will get some whole basement photos right away here, and let me guess Dez's tank would go right where the mirror is?

I would recommend the powder brown tang A.japonica.
I one with the orange on it.
I would not recommend the following because they are very difficult tanks to keep often getting sick for no apparent reason and dying and taking a few of their tank mates with them
---powder blue tang
---gold rim tang
---achilles tang

Go slow with the additions to the tank though to give your tank time to adjust.

Really nice tank and pics.

Thanks for the suggestion, I was interested in a Powder brown so I will do a little more research on them. In which order should I be adding them?

New photos of the tank as I just brought it home, will be doing the swap over on Wednesday after my last class at around 3.

Wow, how much Coral Snow are you dosing? My tank doesn't get nearly that cloudy when I dose it. All I see is a little puff when it goes through.

Dude, that tank is SWEEEEEEEET... I love the fact that it has no plastic caps or trims or anything, just nice clean glass. Mint.

I have a problem when it comes to dosing Coral snow, It never seems to hurt anything when I OD the tank but I over use it when I dose. Thanks Mili, can't wait to see new stuff in it!

Spend a few months deciding which tangs you really like the most and that have a high likelihood of survival, wait a few months a choose very healthy tangs. Alert, plump, clear eyes, no spots or tears and than add them all at once to your tank with the lights off a keep the lights off for a day or two day Also avoid approaching your tank during that time to avoid stressing the fish.

Good Luck

PS make sure it is A.japonica The powder brown with the orange on it as they are often mislabeled and the golden rim tank is virtually impossible to keep
