![]() Actually, if not for Marie, it would be almost empty. Some of the live rock and the large corals came from her. I should change the name to Lance & Marie's 225 gal Build Journal.

![]() If anyone is considering a Tang for their tank have a good look at the Kole Tang. (Ctenochaetus strigosus) I've had mine for 3.5 months now and am very pleased with it.
Because I have a Tuskfish, Lunare Wrasse, and Hawkfish in this tank I can't keep a CUC and was looking for a suitable detritus eater. Somewhere I read that the Kole was a good tank cleaner so I bought one. What a good investment! This guy sucks up film algae like a Hoover; and eats nearly anything ugly in the tank. It loves to eat fish poop (gross as that sounds ![]() ![]()

![]() Speaking of which, the 2 big corals in my quarantine tank are not doing well (not enough light) I'm not sure they will make the full 6 weeks (to make them ick free) do you want to take them before they die? (I think it's been 4 weeks without fish)

![]() No, he is a well-mannered fish; doesn't bother anything. But it sure likes it's grub. Biggest pig I've ever seen.
