    you've got a great start there. also (and this is a comment I don't thing I've made before) your aquascaping doesn't suck!:) So +1 for rock arrangement.

    I would suggest more LR added slowly over the next little bit. That tang is eventually going to produce a huge amount of waste.

    Tangs are like the cows of the ocean. They're herbivores they eat a ton, and they produce a lot of waste. Your invert cleaner crew and bacteria will deal iwth it, but more live rock helps that process move along faster. Remember to bucket any live rock in a bucket with an airstone for a week before adding it to the tank.
    By the way, tangs love broccoli as a treat every once in awhile. Dip it in garlic to bost their immune system (prevents ICH)
