I really like your 'scape! Great tank and I love your fish. Beautiful Sohal!!

Very nice, creative aquascape.

There are two large islands that almost connect. Lots of arches for the tangs to swim through...

The island on the left is actually hollow and open in the back. Kinda like a grotto. That is where the sohal sleeps along with the leopard wrasse

Beautiful! I love the openess of the rockwork. I personally hate the overcrowded look. What are the dimensions of the tank?

What bulbs are you using? The right side looks like it has a higher kelvin rating and more algae growth.

How long have you had the Tangs and how big were they when you got them?

LOTUS50GOD · 08/31/2008, 08:44 PM

The tank is a 340. 7' Long x 3 feet wide x 2 feet high

The bulbs are 14k on the side and 20k in the center.

I have had the sohal for 7 years now. The Blue Tangs for about 6.5.

There was 3 blue tangs, but the other two started to pick on the third once I moved them from my old 260. So the third had to go. Luckily I caught it in time and the LFS gave me some credit for him.

The blues were under 1" and the sohal I got on the cheap because he was only about 1"... LOL....

Now my sohal is so fat that I could make filets from him...LOL..
