no love for my tank?
 
Nice setup bro, just gotta hide that wiring.

I wish I could hide that wiring. I have a pump under each side of the live rock pile, and due to the length of the wires on the pumps, they are stuck straight up in the tank.
 
Great looking setup, gotta ask how did you get your yellow tangs not to kill each other

I simply added them at the same time. They had also been living together when I bought them. In tanks 5 feet long or larger they do quite well in pairs.
 
A lot has changed with this tank. The tank had an outbreak of dinoflagellates. Anything that ate them died. I lost the bariene tang, the filefish, and the high hat drum. I have since killed off the dinoflagellates, and now have diatoms (which are harmless). Anyways, I'm upgraded lights (and am looking to do so again in a few days), and I have added a bunch of animals as well as removed all the coral skeletons.

Here's the new stocklist (I have decided to turn this tank into a reef by the way)
2 Yellow Tangs (already own)
1 Sailfin Tang (already own)
1 Purple Tang
1 Powder Blue Tang
1 Flame Angel
