nice tank...i think that may be too many large fish for a cube that size however. no battles between the tangs in those close quarters?

ya well the main reason we upgraded tanks was because i was advised the three tangs would be fine in a 46 bowfront, which they were for about three months until they grew and so we built this current tank which is working very good so far. occasionally the yellow tang will get a nip in its fin during the algae feedings because the sailfin is a voracious eater, but the nips heal in about a day or two.

im going to try and post some pictures of the Onyx Perculas when they first arrived but my internet is konking out right now
