Also helps to have strong lighting. I have a 14K phoenix 150W metal halide right over top of it with 2 actinic t5's on a small tank.

In the edge, I don't think I will need to keep the calcium that high. I will aim for around 380-400 ppm for this tank as it will have some LPS, a small clam,and some easy SPS.

+1 I'd buy one too! How many Tangs could I squeeze in there before the Tang Police break my door down? ��

Yeah I think about 4 tangs... but anything more would just be unreasonable. I was thinking a Soho, powder blue, xxl nasso and an achillies. But we'll see how they do in the 7 gallon. If they are nice and peaceful, i'll try a couple more!!

I thought the "rule of thumb" was 1 Tang per Gallon of water? Only 4 would be really conservative!

New update today.

Got sick of not having any frags in there. My CREE's have yet to arrive, and I was getting restless... So I put the Ikea LED's into a 150W Metal Halide Pendant and hung that over the tank for now.

I also Put another 4 Pieces of rock from my other tank in there.





I got a few frags from my other tank:

2 heads of Hammer Coral
6 heads of Green Candycane
3 Kenya tree frags... They tend to drop a baby every day in my other tank...




And a couple little things have sprung up from the rock I put in there. A green Paly, and a blue spotted mushroom came from nowhere lol.




And the good old damsel is doing awesome
