Additional Aquarium Information

What do you think are the keys to your success in reefing?
Patience
I'm just not thinking this cheato is going to survive all of this.
I'm upset because I was going to surprise @Katrina71 with this cheato tumbler idea I had but I'm so bad at making things:loudly-crying-face: and now I have a light, no cheato and salsa all over my phone :loudly-crying-face:
At least your phone is going to taste good when you make a phone call...?
 
I think I've decided against a tang in ours. 30" cube would not be the best. If we come across a rescue, maybe?
Have always wondered about the cube.
Was going to buy a 112 ext.
I think it was 36 inch cube??
Cool tank but maybe weird for a tang?
What about one of the smaller ones?
Rescue would be happy with it though.
Tomini probably would be ok but they can be jerks.
 
A Yellow Mimic Tang might work in a 36" tank. I believe they stay smallish as well.
 
I have one. The Foxface keeps him in check.
Had yellow, powder blue, Scopus and kole in my lifetime.
Powder blue worst attitude of them all.
 
A quick browse says no to the Mimic but yes to Kole Tangs for smaller (60+ gallon) tanks. Kole Tangs can be neat looking and the one I had years ago was pretty chill for a Tang.

My Powder Brown was good. He didn't take any junk from the Tomini but he left everything alone. Fairly peaceful which is really unlike Powders from my understanding.

Yeah mine was too.
Cared only about grazing no one and nothing else.
Was a good fish and pretty too.

I always wanted one of those.
My yellow is a great fish, a rescue now healthy but super skiddish and a weird eater.

Not sure what happened with the Powder Brown. I went to a business conference for a week and he was MIA when we came home. I found his skeleton a few weeks later under a rock ledge - just not sure how he got there or why.

That's a sad way to go so sorry.
I'd be super bummed.
I've never even seen a powder brown for sale in person.
I've never bought a fish online only at a LFS.

I bought mine at Aquarium Arts here in the Phoenix area. $39!
