I visited your website and all I can say is it's beautiful. I noticed you said you removed the deep sand bed. Sorry to hear about the loss of your animals. I am in the process or discovery process of setting up a reef tank. I've been over alot of material regarding substrate. Seems like a split for and against DSB's. I am leaning towards a 1 - 1.5 inch bed but can't decide whether to go CC or coarse sand. What are you using?

Thanks for sharing such a beautiful site.

WOW, Awesome coloration!

Ok I know your a slick w/ photography but Im sure that tang is that colorful in real life...What do you feed that beauty? I know food and vitamins plays an important role in coloration. Very pretty fish though Chuck!

I feed it mysis shrimp, enriched brine, flake food with lots of algae flakes, Nori often as well to keep it eating some greens

I currently have very little substrate. Some spots completely bare, others maybe have a quarter inch of crushed coral ... that's about it

This fish is a beauty Chuck. Looks as good as mine
Kidding aside, I don't think there is a better looking Purple tang. Your photography is top notch also.
