Are those Cardinal fish of some sort in there too? With the blue eyes?

Tang city! Sweet Wayne.

Thanks Mark. Hopefully 3 more additions will complete the town.

Awesome stuff Wayne, I love the group of scopas tangs, I have always liked them

Interesting that the scopas absolutely annihilate hair algae. We may have to throw 3-4 scopas in our 400 for good measure.

I love them. I think it's messed up that they were the only ones that went after it and the others didn't even look at it. I guess all tangs aren't created equal.

Yeah that is messed up :lolspin:

At least the scopas are well mannered, awesome tangs. They remind me of shadows or something, very sleek fish.

I love their sleeknoess. Just something different than the usual schools or shoals of yellow tangs.

This is what happens when you add 200 more lbs of aragonite sand.

 

[Sonicboom]

Lol, and I'm worried about adding another 40 ...lol

 

[SPotter]

Why did you do that?

Good reading through all 4,135 posts! Actually I did it all last weekend and stole your stand design but you know that already :reading: That sand sure makes a mess, fortunately I will have 0 sand in the tank this time around.

 

[Newbie Aquarist]

Why did you do that?

I only added 240 pounds when I first set the tank up because I was impatient. It looks much better now with the thicker sand bed.

 

[Newbie Aquarist]

No need to bruh. I over the sand bed more now. I don't see the bottom of the tank.

I added a thin layer (1/4 inch or less) of crushed corals over small areas at a time with no negative effect. I did it to cover the finer sand that the MP60s were moving around... Wayne hope that everything is OK in your tank... and we would appreciate knowing what motivated you to do it now... Thanks

Thank you for taking the time to read and use my design. I was going to go bare bottom on this one but if it didn't go as planned then I would've regretted it later.
