That is awesome, most places wont even take it for free

There are NO tank bred tangs. Every single one you see and have seen come from the wild. Dont forget the dozens that die for the few that make it to the stores.

That can be a very mixed blessing, they are well known for taking over tanks. Among some circles they are known as Kenya weed. I would make sure you keep them confined to one part of the tank

Ya, that will make the huge. You might find that they will shrink up quite a bit with the new light

Yes that is true, but if you have been disease free so far, why not work at keeping it that way and then deal with an issue if it does come up?

+1 salty Even with them eating like pigs they are still so susceptible to stress that they still come down with horrible ich infections and they die.

I always dip corals. LFS are the casual encounters section of cragslists, all sorts of stuff comes in and you never know what they are bringing with them. I would dip any future corals you get. You known you have an infection when corals start dying or you see unwanted hitchhikers in the...

I think the snail is going to be a goner. Sitting in the cold, then being put in freshwater and then being put in saltwater is more than these guys can handle. People seem to forget that snails and crabs are really quite delicate, much more so than fish and all of these drastic swings are...

Hello and welcome!

I know :) which is why we tell you want to expect so you don't have to worry

+1 salty The clown will be fine if you move your rocks around though, they are very hardy. I think about the only way you could stress a clownfish is to put it in an overcrowded tank.

Nice pickups!

Considering they are both types of mushrooms, I'm not sure it matters a whole lot of difference

Good, they really do a lot better in the bigger tanks. Tank looks good

It's a starry blenny

Looks like a fuzzy mushroom to me, or perhaps a riccordia. Cool hitchhiker!

I would get some of the strip LEDs, they are pretty cheap and should last a very long time. I have a good link for this at home, I will post here later.

True! Someday I will be setting up a FOWLR tank just for this fish. They are my absolute favorite!
