Looks like 75% of the fish crowding into 33% of the tank:

Thanks for looking. Hope you enjoyed.

So this is 58 hours after most of the fish were transferred from the 120g holding tank and everyone looks happy and healthy. Tank is running well & everyone is eating like pigs. Going through about 3 full sheets of Nori a day, plus pellets, dried prawns (for Poofie), and some frozen food.

Added a "white" yellow tang from Mike and a YT and Blue eyed Kole from Scooby :) tonight. The white tang was chased a bit by one of the purple tangs but otherwise no problems at all with the new introductions.

Everyone is still doing great. The transition into the new tank went so smoothly that its scary.

Looks great! That's a cool aquascape. You could use more tangs though maybe. :lol:

Each yellow tang was bought separately from other reefers, but added into this new tank within 3 days.

I'm not recommending going tang crazy like this to anyone else. I just like to do something different & since conventional wisdom is to keep only 1 tang of each species per tank, I wanted to see how possible it was to keep multiple specimens of the same tang in one tank. My 210g reef also has a school of yellow tangs so I knew this could work.

New pics of my newest fish. Thanks to Jim & Wendell at OA for this beautiful specimen of one of my all-time favourite fish, the Harlequin Tuskfish. Haven't been by OA in a while but got a deal that I couldn't pass up. Worth the drive out.

Here's some quick pics:

And the Money shot:

Jim told me they had this beauty for 3 weeks already & it was eating pellets while I watched, so had to take it home with me:biggrin:

Thanks again,

Anthony

Nice Tusker Anthony! Is he still playing shy? It took a few weeks for mine to become comfortable in the tank. I hope you enjoy yours as much as I do mine.

It's been out & about within an hour.

On the other hand, I have (I hope) an ornate wrasse that dove into the sandbed as soon as I released it from the bag & haven't seen it in almost a week now.:sad:

Love the spectacular colours and pattern on the Harlequin Tusks!!!

The only fish in the tank that mine bothers with is the Lunare Wrasse, whom he chases fairly often even though it is quite a bit larger than the Tusk. (never any damage though) I don't think I could put another wrasse in this tank with these two.
