    Finally got a powder brown tang today. I've been wanting one for so long now but never found one that was in good shape or good price. I got him for cheap and he was ick free. He's perfect, I'm am pumped to finally have one. I will enjoy watching him swim endlessly around the tank every day. The kids also named him Scooter.

    Hard to find one that isn't covered in ick. I've been looking for about 6 months. I almost got a powder blue today as well cause he was also in great shape. But I'm more than happy with the brown for now.

    You must have a pretty big tank to have the ambition of a powder brown and a powder blue fishaholic. I was considering one for my 90 but I decided it was too risky. Good luck and congratulation.

    Oh, and make sure you have lots of cleaner shrimp and neon gobies...
