Wow, look at that explosion of color. I love it.

Amazing looking color in the tank! :D

One question I have is how much luck are you guys having with the yellow tangs in groups. I've heard ppl having issues with many in even larger tanks.

I can't claim to know why or how but I can tell you Ive had no agression with my 5 yellow in my 240 gal or with my 4 yellows and one purple in our old 90gal. We do feed a lot. I know that can't hurt.

Here is a full tank shot taken earlier today. Sorry for the poor photo skills, plus I can't get far enough back to take a full tank shot so I have to stitch two photos together. Some of the yellow tangs got in both shots, but there are only 9.

180g (4' x 3' x 2')
1 - yellow tang
1 - tomini tang
1 - foxface rabbit fish
2 - talbot damselfish
1 - Tomato clown (My first fish, currently in a 50g anemone tank attached to the system, not in main display)
I think my fish are in a good quantity considering the size of the tank (and the laziness of my water change schedule). If I go larger I think I would get more smaller fish, not so much larger ones. Schools of tangs while impressive just don't hit me in the same way as a bunch of smaller fish.


o2manyfish: Wow that's only 400 gallons? It looks orders of magnitude larger than my 180. That or those tangs are small :D
