Thanks for the compliments I'm very happy with this little tank.

Here is a pic of the latest edition, a sailfin tang I picked up from another reefer.

What sort of equiptment are you running on the tank? Sump?
I have a 33g and I am thinking about what I want to do with it..

Thanks

No fancy equipment at all. No sump, fuge, or skimmer. I have 2 HOB filters and 2 powerheads. One filter has carbon and one has LR rubble. For some reason this tank has worked out very well. My plan in the beginning was just a fish only tank then it slowly grew into reef set up. You should try the same thing with your 33g. Maybe take it slow like I did, add frags over time until you have all you want. If you want any more info just let me know.

Mike

Thumbs down

Nice looking tank, but 2 tangs in a 30 gallon? I think that is cruel to those fish, don't mean to be the tang police, but I think it's sad enviroment for these fish and hope you upgrade to that bigger tank soon, for them

They are small tangs, and yes they will be in a larger tank in a few weeks. I only bought the sailfin from another reefer that was shutting a tank down knowing that his stay in the 30g wouldn't be to long. My 190g is almost ready to go Lots and lots of room for them.

Whoo! Good news to hear Mike, from earlier posts I didn't think we'd see that 190 for awhile. Can't wait to see the 190 as a TOTM
