Nice tank. Its time for an upgrade as the yellow tang will need a bigger tank. Please read this sticky... IMO it is very accurate. http://www.reefcentral.com/forums/sh....php?t=1946007

thanks! I had the yellow tang in a 20gallon tank first, then I upgraded to the 40 breeder and now Iam planing on a 125gallon tank. Two years and 3mo with me now. Not to much LR for that reason, I think it has pleanty of space to swim for now. . Also thanks for the feedback!!

Nice tank- like the large colonies, but to echo the crowd, even if he seems fine, you really need to switch sooner than later. Based on the pictures, his size is way to big for that tank right now, and he doesn't have the lateral swimming room he needs (even without any live rock whatsoever).

Thanks andrewey! And Yes, please people dont worry I plan to have the new tank running in few month. I have had these fish for over two years now and I know he is healthy and happy, he has told me so.... The fish look way to big in the third pic, but he still small. Maybe the second pic look more to scale.

Great looking tank! I waffled on getting the 40 gallon prior to setting up my 55. They have a nice width which you have used nicely. Congrats
