It will be a while till I find the perfect fish and the most important to find a way to pay for it :)

Looking for small Red Sea or yellow belly regal 2"

3-4" Red Sea or XMI adult coloration emperor

Captive breed scribble 2-3" not the 1" that they are selling now

And a simple 2" purple tang

Then I have to remove 2- 4 fish from my main tank starting with my larger 4" white tail, my larger 6" quoyi and ??

Why not keep the fishes since they are already acclimated? With your large system and the new ATB skimmer, you should be able to handle the bioload. Looks perfect now.

Same bandit.
The last regal was too big and for some reason they don't adapt well they live for few month then stop eating I am suspecting some of this guys are collected illegally by cyanide

Sorry to hear it died. Am keeping my fingers crossed on mine...it's still eating pellets with gusto so hopefully he continues. Next I am going to introduce some sea veggies and see how he takes to that.

Really nice tank wish I could afford something like that
As you know by now he works his reef to get it that way:) Lawrence when I look at your FTS something seemed off to me(not how beautiful your tank is) just something? Today I realized what it was......the two islands on each side of your arch are facing the wrong way. Your island faces front of DT and the islands face the arch....sideways?
Does anyone see that? Maybe just a long weekend:)

Thanks mace
The tank is see thru so it hard to capture everything in the front of one side, when the corals mature it will be more visible what I am trying to accomplish.
