The tank looks nice, but that tang seems to be displaying some stressed behavior.

bought my bandit last week, currently infected with ich, thankfully it's still feeding

I think it is timed to upgrade that 4 foot to an 8 foot.

Very nice. What all is in there and what are the mechanics?

An Achilles Tang is one of the most active tangs there is.... A 6' tank with lots of open swimming room is the bare minimum for him!

Our achilles is in a 6' right now, he's grown so much we're getting ready to convert over to an 8' next month. They are definitely a fish with a lot of requirements ;-)

Tank looks great. Love that montipora.

My Achilles is in my 180G, but will be moved into a larger tank as he gets a little bigger. One of my favorites!
