Also...I want some cool ideas for some decor for the tank.
It's a nanocube and I already have some micro-swords in there and a fake hollow log.
But I am going to go out and pick up some more stuff tomorrow.

Good idea. I would use the bigger tanks for the bigger fish, and the smaller tanks for the smaller fish. If you have a 100G tank, use it for bigger fish, and not like DP's. But it's always up to the owner, and not me. :)

I am a zoanthid-aholic so the largest tank we have is the big reef tank. I have my tangs in there to keep stuff clean and some other random fish..ie: Spotted Hawkfish, Pajama Cardinal, Tusk, Potter's Angel and a Scooter Blenny.
I have a lunar wrasse in my sump that is going up to the store once I can catch him.

lol I wanted a huge Chinese Algae Eater for my tank, but they were always too small. I saw this huge one in a 240G at my LFS, but he wasn't for sale. Know why? Because they couldn't catch him. I got an albino one at a different LFS for $7.99. He's about 4.5 inches.

Lol...that is funny. That is kinda why the wrasse lives in the sump. I can't catch him and the #$%&* bit me once already.

About 4. He took a ride down the pipes and we haven't been able to catch him. Our 2 largest reef tanks are plumbed together and we have one massive sump underneath and a refugium, so the little bugger has lots of room.

They should, they're the Admins!!!!! Besides, they are like addicted to fishkeeping (not a bad thing at all), and you have a fish store! How can a 15 year old like me possibly keep up? It's fine. I'm perfectly happy with my fish. Besides, my fire eel is much cooler than your Fahaka.

(Just kidding) :]
