as far as the cap I really don't know lol. I know at some point I'll need to move the tang I got it about 4 years ago at around 3" and he's maybe double that now. thanks for the compliments!

you're welcome, have you ever noticed your coral beauty niping at corals? I've tried 2 different ones and both would nip at mt LPS'. and what type of lighting are you running?

What a beautiful tank you have. No sign of bad algae any where. How do you keep it that clean? I am very new to reef keeping and have the red plague in my tank. Your zooanthids are fabulous too! Jeanne

Well I have had my share of algea filled tanks but I think this one is my best the key is a good skimmer and good RO water. My skimmer is rated for about 200 gal. I only do 5 gal water change about once a month
