Hey everyone!!

Figured I would post up some pics to get some opinions and thoughts. Never hurts to learn more. I've only been doing this for 2 years, so please comment away! In some of the pics, I am not sure why it looks cloudy, but the tank is clear. It's probably because the pictures are from my android.

Looks great. The only negative comment i have is that a 55 is too small for your sail fin tang. Other than that it looks great!!

+1 to the sailfin. I also have a 55 gallon tank and wanted a tang, I ended up with a tominii tang. Little bit more managable for a 55. Tank is looking nice though.

Thanks!! The urchin is getting to be a bit big for the tank, his spikes reach up about 1/3 of the tank. I'm afraid hes going to spear one of my fish. He'll be up for sale soon. I figure I have a couple more months out of my sailfin before I put him up for sale to a bigger home. I like the tominiis too, that'll probably be my replacement when my sailfin goes.
