Parrot's 150 Long

Thanks guys...will put up a FTS soon. Hopefully the corals start taking off and filling out. Got some real cool pieces from a new store recently for some good prices. Red gonio, a 3" peach/green monti digi, a red monti digi, and a blue tort for $80.
 
So, I adjusted my lighting a bit, so maybe this triggered it, but I'm having a little bit of an algal or bacterial bloom. My water's a little cloudy and greenish. Not sure what to do, if anything. It could also be from the biopellets...
Anyone have any experience with this?
 
Just some FTS (sort of)

Hiding!! Camera shy punks. Still not many fish - got 2 clowns, 1 small convict tang, 1 medium-small tomini, a juvenile foxface, and an ORA mandarin. A little concerned about the Mandarin - I've got a bunch of pods, but he still looks a little pinched. The ORAs seem to all be coming fairly small, so I'm hoping he fattens up. Apparently, they're supposed to eat frozen, but I haven't witnessed it. Hopefully he gets as fat as the mandarin I had in my 75.

Not sure what to add next, fish wise. I really have fallen in love w/tangs and would love another, but I don't know what would be compatible.
 
oh, and if you have good eyes, you CAN spot the tomini, both clowns, and a very narrow head on view of the convict - all in the top photo.
 
You could try a chocolate or caribbean blue tang. They both seem to do well in "smaller" i.e. less than 180 size tanks. Unless your convict or tomini is a real bully, both would probably fit right in!
 
Thanks Sam, I might have to look into that. I'm a little concerned about my convict. He's a baby now, but he's he most dominant fish already. I'm thinking he might grow into a bully.
 
Added a new fish, named Gustavo! He's a Zebramosa, so I'm hoping he won't fight much with the Acantharus and Ctenochaetus, being a different Genus.
I was stunned, I thought he would have a big problem with the Convict Tang, but the normally reclusive & shy Tomini was actually the pissed one. I turned the lights out for a day to give them a chance to settle, and it looks like everyone has settled into their own space on the reef....we'll see.
