Wow, that is a very nice tank... I cant condone the tang in such a small tank though. He'll need to be rehomed in the near future.

Thanks for the compliment, but relax.... The Tang is nowhere near too big for the tank YET. I am aware of the Tang's requirements for space as it grows. She's only like 2 1/2"-3" right now. I will be upgrading my tank in the future to a 300 gal. and that will be more than enough room for just about any reef fish I want to keep. I understand people being concerned for a fish's well being but I assure you I take good care of my fish. Much better than most aquarists I meet. Too many people want to get like 20 fish and put them in a 30 gal. aquarium and then wonder why their tank is not doing well.... I'm not that guy.

I hear ya, but we are on RC and if I say that you have a nice tank without commenting on the inappropriate stocking choice than I go along with it. Most of us on here think that you should buy fish that fit in your current tank not the one that you may or may not set up. It does look like you take care of your fish and I hope that you do get your big tank. Good luck.
