Just stacked them. Not hard to do with this great Haitian rock.

Very cool. Clown tangs and Emperor angels are my two favorite fish. I only wish I could have them in my tank!

Thanks I see you have zoos in your tank description. Is that what is stopping you from adding a emp? You may get away with it if you get a juvi. The risk is 50/50.

While zoanthids/frogspawn is a concern I think it's more of a size issue. A 180g is a fairly big tank but an Emperor Angel is a fairly huge fish. Most sites list them as getting to around 15" or so and I just can't imagine a fish even close to that size in my tank. Holding a tape measure up to the tank makes me feel that more than 6" is too big even. I've been overly cautious with my tank so far though so I haven't ruled anything out, it just doesn't seem like the right thing to do.

looks great as always!
Can you please describe your QT process whenever you add a new fish?

 

[hdtvguy]

Thanks.

I do not QT at all. My LFS does that for me.
