Here are the pictures of my new tang as promised. It is so small, as you can tell from its size compared to clownfish in the tank.

Vey cool man!

Yeah My Evolution 750 has never failed me. I have one in my tank (30g) and it provides plenty of flow. Another option would be a nano at each end....

I am thinking a nano 425 in each corner!

There are so many overflow methods.....overflow box, durso, beananimal, herbie...etc I don't know which one to choose! At this point not having to drain the tank and drill it would be a nice bonus and perferred method...but I don't want to flood out my neighbors in my apartment either. But I know I need to do something to be able to get a sump up and running....

NoPe never broke syphon. Korelias should work nice

i love those green birds, i have a bluish purple 1. its very nice too.

im still fighting stn on my enhanta and a few of my pink birds. its upsetting me.

as far as overflows. i would stick with eshopps, lifereef . i know fleshy has a cpr overflow and likes it, but the only bad thing about the cpr's is u have to use a vaccum pump to keep siphon.

Nice tank.. I would put that Xenia somewhere off by itself because that stuff spreads like crazy.. I bout a piece about the same size as yours and now it seems like i'm ripping it out of my tank weekly just to keep it under control. I'm sure you may already know all of this but just letting you know.. It will eventually make its way to the highest point in your tank as well, if it has something to latch on to. I look forward to seeing your updates..
