What a great shot. Got to love those tangs.... Have you had any problems? What's your trick for introducing them to your tank. By the way, love you reef mound.

well thanks guys, i have had problems with the yellows, they are so mean. All the others are fine and never seem to bother each other. I started off with the large unicorn tang and a purple from my other tank, then added 7 yellows all at one time. Had a battle with ich right after, lost 2 tangs then ich went away.
I added a sailfin, no problems, and the naso, no problems. Then the last change was 1 powder blue and 3 convicts all the same day.
I think adding in groups helps, and also dont mix anything with yellows that have the same body shape as the yellow's.
The sailfin and covicts are apparently just different enough that the yellows didnt mess with them when added.
I wont ever be able to add a black tang or a scopas or another purple as I know they will be killed.
So with tangs its tough but I am lucky I think and they are my favorites in the tank right now.
As for the aquascape, I did a couple mounds trying to keep a lot of free space for fish to swim and corals to fill up over time

Is it just me that this image is really really small. Can't wait to see it in a larger format.

Really nice looking tank!
How did you get rid of the ich problem?
I have a 300 with 8 tangs in there
Love them a lot. Just hate the ich

well i used chem marins "stop parasite" worked well, I didnt see any for about 7 months, but I recently added 4 tangs and I have it again, as long as they keep eating hopefully the immune system will fight them off, I think the chems produces more mucous to shed the parasites, I dont think they ever really go away. Tangs are tough when it comes to ich it seems.
