I saw that tang last time I was at Red Coral. Nice and fat.

Good looking tank! I do the same (leave bits on the back pane) for my Blenny and Tang. It works out great, especially because they seem to be terrified of the Nori

I think I could drop an entire sheet of Nori in the tank and this White Cheek would gobble down every last bit of it. My lawnmower refuses to eat prepared food though, including nori on a clip, so I hope he is getting enough food elsewhere in the tank.

I wouldnt worry too much about the blenny. My first bi-color took forever before I saw him eating with the rest of the fish. Pretty soon he looked like some of the pics you see of the obese blennies.

Yea, I just worry he might be missing something in his diet, that the algae on the glass might be lacking..

That stand was for my FIRST tank I decided to do, a 54G, but I built a proper stand for this tank. I garuntee you could put a full size pickup truck on this new stand and it wouldn't break. It's heavy duty.

Thanks Greg. I'll have to get some photo's of those frags from you, posted up. Btw, do you remember which one you told me should be placed lower in the tank... I completely forgot after I got home with all those bags.

Thanks C. It was definitely worth the wait to get him. Not a single sign of stress from the time I added him to the tank. Eating like a pig, and I'm guessing in a week or so he will claim his position in the tank as 'Boss!!'. My Foxface currently holds it, but I can't see that lasting.

While I was doing some work on my tank today, figured I'd take a few shots of the frags I got from Snappy.

Rainbow Stylo:


Special K - Killer Cerealis:


Alien Freckles:


And a quick shot of Kush in action:
