It does look good. Looks like the fish are going to have a lot of fun going through those tunnels.

Good start. Gonna make it a reef or FOWLR tank?

 

[Jim_Leyland]

im probably gonna throw some corals in there but not alot b/c i don't plan on upgrading my light ( VHO ) anytime soon.. and i want a emperor and i hear they eat most corals so i don't wanna waste alot of money for a fish to eat it all lol..

What kind of fish are you going to put in it?

2 true percs
5-7 blue/green chromis
powder blue tang
emperor angel (maybe)
mandrian
yellow watchman
foxface (maybe)

i was thinking about maybe adding the clowns-chromis-goby all at the same time then maybe the tang,foxface,angel..
what do u guys think?

If your getting a mandarin id strongly advise a refugium.

and even of you go the mandarin route, wait quite a while before you get him, along the lines of 8 months or so.

FYI Jim, mine is looking awful thin with 300+ lbs of LR.

Yeah they dont have a very high survival rate in captivity if possible try and wein him onto frozed mysis soaked in selcon serpent. mandarins are a fish imo should stay in the ocean.
