Naso tangs have a lot of personality and are really more like a pet and not just another fish. I just replaced mine that got caught in my overflow and died so my new blonde is still a bit shy. IME they tend to get along with the other fish very well and mine would come eat out of my hand. It was tame enough that I could grab it and pull it right out of the water. I had to move it out of the way sometimes when I was working in the tank because it liked to hang out with me but would get in the way sometimes. I highly recommend a naso. They aren't the most beautiful fish to look at but they have a personality you'll fall in love with.:wink:

Awesome! Thanks for the info :mrgreen:

wow looks good!
I really like the piece to the left of the urchin what is it a tri colour gorgeous.
I find the algar wafer stuff to be a pain aswell but fairly easy to rid pulls off in one piece.

Thought I'd post up a more recent photo of the tank. Discovered I had montipora eating nudibranchs in my tank (yay another one to add to the list :rolleyes:) so off I set in search of a treatment. Discovered my wrasse loves to eat them when he can reach them (he's a lardo and hardly fits anywhere). However a couple of caps were really too far gone and quite frankly they were taking up prized real estate that my new Coral Master frags needed :wink:

Anyhoo I took the plunge and my tank went from this:

to this:

I did end up treating the caps with potassium permanganate and put a couple smaller pieces back in the tank. I'll be watching them closely. If you can believe that piece in front by the scopas tang is my YELLOW cap. Crazy eh? I also fragged my A. tenuis which was looking like arse and kept the better looking live parts. It was just a home for caulerpa mostly anyways (which is yet another story).

edit: the tank looks brighter cuz I taped the blue plastic on the back properly, it was falling off. Heh I just figured that out, makes the tank much brighter :wink:

How come your tunze streams aren't all covered in corraline algae, like mine.

These were soaked in vinegar 6 weeks ago

It appears to be growing on her Regal Tang instead.:razz:

Christy your tank is looking good.

WOW Christy! I think it looks really really good! In this case a bad thing led to a very good thing! AND look at ALLLLLL that real estate to put frags in!:lol:

Your tank looks great! I need some more frags from the coral master ;). But am waiting for my calc reactor to arrive first blah!

You're tank is Lookin' Fine! And I've missed seeing Ol' Purple Face.

Good lord Marie, you are the master at growing coralline. http://img308.imageshack.us/img308/9...down8yi1ut.gifI'm lucky if I get a sprinkling of purple dots along the back glass of the tank.
