What the ---- is that picture??????????????? That is NOT in my gallery.

I'm 29 and certainly not anywhere near that big.

I'm not asking this in a snide way, just really trying to understand. How can it be worth it to you (and so many others) to have an enormous tank like that (I live in an apartment, 210 would probably go through the floor) with so little to enjoy in it? I mean, assuming we're talking FO.

Reef'in: you actually know someone else who's into half shirts and tigers??????

Well, it's not FO... it is mostly SPS.

I have:

1 Yellow Tang (came with live rock from anothers tank)
1 Tomato Clown (came with live rock from anothers tank)
5 bicolor anthias
3 Pajama Cardinals
1 Mandarin

It's almost a year old but I am still slowly adding. I have a powder blue tang in QT right now. I'm not really sure at what point I'll stop adding. I usually wait a few months between fish (mostly because I am lazy setting up the QT tank)

I'll have to see how much room I feel I have left after I add the Powder Blue Tang... that might be it for tangs for me. Then probably some smaller non-aggressive fish like firefish and neon gobies or something similar but maybe only 4-6 of these. I'll have to see how everything is after the tang.

Currently the Powder Blue is in a 20 long QT tank... and he doesn't look too happy about it. He gets 25% daily water changes with water from the main tank. (which helps me keep up on the main tanks water changes)

Interesting...pics?

i did come off a little harsh and i apologize, but i simply don't think that the size and stocking is the only matter, but also the species. if you did 50% water changes every week i could see you having a good amount of fish to keep your eyes happy, but the fish in there don't cut it. just try to pick better species. also, out of curiosity, how are the tangs doing togther? i wanted a pair like that for my 125g?

Just a smidge, but I have no interest in putting in an envelope and mailing it to you. I'm not up for conversations with the Feds.
