Not confirmed yet, but I'll probably be keeping this setup and helping my brother get a new tank. I will be giving him most of his corals back and the light. Which is cool cause I'm gonna go with T-5s. Just PCs over it right now. The move went pretty good. Lost 2 fish. The Mural goby jumped from the temporary tank and the cardinal fish just died. Also lost a few heads from the huge frogspawn in the middle of tank. Other than that, everything is good. The clownfish and yelow tang are fine. I tried to take pics but don't know what the deal is with my camera. Most came out blury and this FTS was the only one worth posting.

yea, it turned out pretty good. The back is actually opened up and it allows the tang to swim the full length of the tank behind the rocks. It can swim in and out of the caves too. It was just rocks stacked on each other and didnt really let the tang explore. By the way Angela, that's the yellow tang I got from you awhile back.

Looks good, Steve. Since you're gonna keep it, you'll have to work on quieting it down. I think I remember you saying it drowns out the nature noises from all your stuff upstairs.
 
I'm thinkin if I do keep this, I will probably go with a 3ft TEK t5 light. I'll build the rock a little more in the middle area for some SPS, montiporas, birdsnest, since Im havin pretty good luck with those under t5s in my 20. I will be letting him keep his frogspawns, leather, xenia, kenya trees, and polyps since I pretty much have those in my 20 and 10. But, if we do decide to move this to his new house, I'm gonna be lookin for a 75-90 setup. I really like the bigger tank.
