This is good info. One that I could use as well. Thanks :thumbsup:

About a 120g?

I just picked up a chocolate tang (aka mimic lemonpeel tang, acanthurus pyroferus).

I struggled with the decision as well.

If I had a much larger tank, I'd consider getting a bariene tang. I've seen some awesome pics of this fish. There's one on DD now.

Why build it so thin and short? You really open up your options if you go 24" tall and 30" wide.

It's because I'm going to use it as a prop/frag tank. I guess I could make it 30 inches wide but I need to keep it shorter..
