For some reason I thought it was 75 .
You do have a lot of room .
I think you should get a Naso tang. I’ve had them but as sone as they get a certain size I have to get rid or them but you have plenty of room .
Actually I was thinking of this tang, might have to contact Dr. Reef and see if they will add it to my order!

I just noticed that Joel started this thread and now he is an infrequent guest on his own thread. Is it possible that his thread has been taken over and his voice somehow diminished? 🤔 Should that thought even occur to me?

Na, we are just annoying, opinionated, jerks like spoiled little brats. Can’t say I blame him! We keep in touch via text. He bowed out after selling his restaurant and began working for the buyers and his new job for a long period. Somehow we thought it was going to allow him to take it easy but somehow he he seems to be working more than ever.

Okay so I am just causing you to throw up a little in your mouth. Got it.
Just thought I would put something out there that wasn’t cannibalism!
