  |  I think I'm in love!
Well I have been searching for a nice show fish since I have been getting my tank back up to speed over the past couple months. I went to a new LFS that opened up a couple weeks ago and got myself a BEAUTIFUL Powder Brown Tang. OMFG it is ja-mazing!
I made the guy feed him before I bought him, so brownie points for me! The guy even gave me a sample of the food he uses and I'll prolly go back and buy some because I've never used it but for one the tang eats it, and for two the other fish gobble it right up, and three no one else around here carries it. Naturally, I forgot what its called 
Anyways so far so good. Its been only a couple hours but he didn't do the typical run-and-hide for three days thing that new fish usually do. So hooray! _________ 125 Gal Reef.

Congrats on the fish, and i hope you do well with it!!!!!
Its problably one of those fish that demand lots of care, so make sure you know all the tips and stuff about it. I made the mistake of buying a clown tang without doing too much in debt research, and found out he is a hard to keep fish, but i have had succes so far with it, and i hope you the best also. _________ *Since 12/2002 40 gal. 85 lbs live rock. 3" fiji Live sand.wet dry filter and prizm protein skimmer. 192 power compacts

Those are nice Tangs though not a very hardy fish IMO! I love the Atlantic Blue Tang and it is easier to keep!
