Anyone remember a big tank with a school of moorish idols?

Does anybody on here ever remember a thread with a big tank, with a school of moorish idols?

Positive it was on RC. I want to say the tank was around 3000-5000 gallons, it definitely was in the thousands though.
I'm about 90% certain that it was a school of idols in the tank - about 10% certain it was some kind of Heniochus.
Don't remember if the tank was a reef or just a large saltwater tank with fake coral.
IIRC, the tank was long, tall, and not very wide. Might've been a double bullnose shape, about 4-5 feet tall, viewable all around.
NOT Steve Weast's tank with the heniochus.

Does anybody remember seeing a tank like this?
Searched through about 60 pages of results and pictures on Google and still haven't found anything.

Thanks,
Drew

I've seen such a tank in person. Several years ago I visited a large Bass Pro Shop on I-30 in Dallas, Texas. They had several large, build-in tanks in the store. One, located in the Restaurant, was a salt water tank, not a reef tank, probably several thousand gallons with a group of Moorish Idols. I can tell Moorish Idols from Heniochus. They were exhibiting normal behavior. There were other fish in there and the Idols kept in a group.
