A ~19,000 Gallon Aquarium

Woke up today and found a nice surprise in the tank courtesy of my uncle: half a dozen black-spotted butterflyfish (Chartodon nigropunctatus) and have a dozen of yellow-bar angelfish (Pomacanthus maculosus). I think he added a couple more sergeant damselfish (Abudefduf vaigiensis) as well but didn't have time to make sure. I can't really photograph the whole bunch, maybe a video.

I tried to capture the amount of new fish in the tank but failed miserably. Here are some failed trials though:

Another image of the middle section under the seating area.

Yet another image of the middle section under the seating area. Just wanted to say that this image and the previous two all had the big grouper in it. :)

This one is peculiar. This was a bleached brain coral that I first added to the tank and was hit by the red tide. I just left it in the tank, and it was bleached for a while, but now it is starting to take colour.

One of the many yellow-bar angelfish added.

Tank looks awesome man. What are you feeding your fish? Dose that huge grouper eat his tank mates?
Thanks. I feed a variety of food mostly from the fish market. The main item on the menu is squid.

Thanks.

Great video!
Thanks. I've been trying to take a good video for a while now but couldn't. When I'm in the water, the fish do not behave as they usually do. Maybe diving with the full scuba gear might help.
