[kj23502]

Wow this will be cool to see. I also have a 120 usg 4'x2'x2' that I will be setting up eventually. I have the tank.....just afraid to go that big for my first tank. I know bigger tanks are easier

I like tangs also. I'm fond of the yellow eye kole tang. http/www.liveaquaria.com/product/prod_di...&pcatid=345

Here's a ton...ton...ton...ton.. of info:

Scroll down and you'll find the tangs. Angels are listed first.

I go to wetwebmedia.com for majority of my fish answers. The authors of articles have also written books on saltwater fish keeping.
