Imo, 75 gallons is a bit small for a Tang of any sort. The Kole I had was only 2" and made my 90 look small by his constant lapping of the tank. I say stick to smaller fish, and you can get more of them. It will look fuller. If you design your rockwork with the Jawfish in mind they will make home in the front. Mine have always gone right where I wanted them because I made that the most prime Jawfish spot. :D

Thanks, I'll keep that in mind...although I'm pretty much in love with the rockwork I've got now...and we all know to NEVER TOUCH THE ROCK once we like it ha ha. But there is a nice little cove that if I were a jawfish I'd TOTALLY make my home.

Tomorrow I'll be keeping busy cleaning the garage and milling machines so that it goes faster. I can't believe I'm actually excited for a Monday

Live Aquaria will be the reason I go broke. All of these (we hope) will eventually be in the tank. The male dotty back was bought already so we're not going to be buying those...frees up a couple hundred for some coral! Anyways...like I said...we have not ordered these, yet but will probably order some tomorrow.

PS - how the hell did this go from a nice, easy LPS/mushroom/zoa tank to an expensive friggen low to moderate light requiring SPS dominant tank. I blame John....and Brett.

PICS:

For sure ordering these tomorrow:

I would welcome you to the Red Planet club but I think you have to be a Canadian border criminal to join :lol::lol::lol:.

Can't wait to see those frags in the tank, at least all us Canadians can live Live Aquaria vicariously through you :biggrin:.

Rbacchiega 10-17-2010 08:46 PM

that Red Planet is a MUST. Waaaaaaay too amazing to pass up.

Ernie was like "70 bucks for a piece of coral?!?!?" Then I showed him and he is successfully converted to a coral nut

LiveAquaria
 
Sooo..... I am still wondering how us Canadians can get orders from LiveAquaria. I would like to order something from them as well!


Special connections??

Rbacchiega 10-18-2010 12:39 AM

I don't live in Canada anymore...well I do..but part time. Right now I live in New Jersey so therefore can order from them.
