Thank you! Originally I thought that I had it all planned out, but as things went along, I found different tangs that I wanted to have in the tank. With each addition, the existing tangs would act differently. The Powder Blue & Kole tangs seem to be the most aggressive to new tangs added to the tank. I believe the size of the tank has made it easier to add more tnags than would be possible in a smaller tank.

Thank you! I was really happy when I first saw the tang and I am happy to report it has done very well after it's first day in the tank.

I feed the tank once a day in the evening. Mostly fozen enriched brine shrimp, mysis shrimp, frozen krill & plankton. Twice a week, I switch and use Ocean Nutrician formula 1 & 2 flakes. Normally feed a couple sheets of nori or a couple pinches of Kizami for the tangs each day.

The Yellow tangs sure jump out at you in the tank.

That is just amazing! Man would I LOVE to live in the same neighborhood as you! You have probably spent more on your tanks and such than I have on my entire 4 years of private college education. That's just soooooo impressive! Do you have an email or IM? I'd like to ask you some more questions! That's just so impressive especially for beginners like me!

and 60 servers? can i ask what you do to have 60 servers in one household?

The steps leading down to the basement are a great place to sit and watch the tank. The servers are used in the business that I run from my house.

Great tank and great looking fish and pics!

I thought that I would go back in time a little. It was two years ago that I got this tank. I thought that I would post a few pictures of the day the tank arrived. We had just gotten 6" of snow the nght before the tank showed up.

Now that was a serious moving job! Did the snow make it easier to get everything across the lawn or did it make it worse?

Once we shoveled a path in my back yard, it wasn't too bad........ My other tanks have all been delivered when there wasn't any snow on the ground and it seems that things were a little smoother during those installations.

Thanks for the info. We don't get snow like that here so I was just curious.
