YES! lol Very exciting... Eleen, my girlfriend, is really stating to get into it too! She was upset that she couldnt pick/buy anything for the nano, not because I didnt want her to, but because I literally could NOT fit anything more into it! I was amazed on how much coral I actually had, I am already finding it difficult to find places for larger pieces, and its only been up a few weeks... But like I said, I am hopefully going to get my buddie to come by and snap me some GOOD pics of the tank, sump, mods, etc...
Thanks for the comments guys/gals!

Now what in the world is the point of having a "build" thread if you keep all the pictures in photobucket? Everybody knows that you just scroll through build threads to look at the pictures. :P

That is correct! She bought the for the 90 though, not the nano. We were also at petco the other day and she say "dory" so sure enough, we now have a quater sized regal tang. The fish is actually quite healthy, eats like a hog, so Im hoping I dont see any signs of ich. And, I better put this out there before the tang police issue a warrant, we bought it small (size as a quarter) so we are able to have it for a few years, but once it gets too big (above 6-7 in, id say), we will be rehoming it to someone with a larger tank (that is if I havent already upgraded!! lol)..

As for the pics on the thread, it pisses me off lol... I wont let me post certain ones and its a PIA to resize ALL of them.

zach keep a CLOSE eye on that regal tang.......i had one....from petco....kept it in QT for 2 weeks then BAM ich....3 more weeks went by with comin and goin signs and then the poor thing gave in.....mine ate like a pig the whole time it was in QT just never revoered from ich....and at the time i didnt have a hospital tank setup since no one here sells the copper treatment.....which might of become one reason why mine didnt recover,,,,,thought i had a pic but its on my cell.....she would lay on the veggie clip and wait for nori....when i bring it in she would back off and then GO TO TOWN ON IT......it was cool......but enufff of mine!!

they ARE ich magnets.....but some people do get lucky with them....just keep an eye on it...i would hate to hear about your tank getting infested with ich.....

Technically any tang is subject to be prone to Ich, they're immune systems just are not very strong. One of the other reasons I feel the garlic and vitamin enriched seaweed we were talking about Zach.
