Welcome to Canreef Cougarman (and your sweet 600G tank!)

[Chaloupa]

WELCOME Cougarman......wickedfrags.com SHAME on you for not making sure pictures came along too with the Welcome!

AP is another aquarium forum......

Tang Police are exactly that....people that will give their opinion on you owning tangs with your size of tank.....basically they are concerned that some tangs are put in small tanks which will do the tang an injustice. (to put it nicely)

Welcome to Canreef. Did you move to Ontario from South Dakota?

I've been following your thread for a long time

No, Not South Dakota, But a lived in Cleveland Ohio for several years before moving back here. I just like the atmosphere of that thread. It's actually Goodwin9s thread.

Thanks for the welcome everyone, I'll post pics shortly.

Let me tell you - I wish my camera was capable of capturing good fish pictures. Not only was I amazed at the variety, health and size of his fish collection, the tank is truely a monster. Biggest tank I have ever seen in a home, and he built it himself.

Made my 270 seem like a nano, I was emasculated when I first saw it, yet I could not look away!

And like your signature, some truth in that for sure. IMO, any thoughts by this group directed towards this system...uneducated.

Think Dave was referring to Chaloupa's description of what the tang police are. She was rather polite - the whole concept of tang police came about because there is a school of thought that no tank is large enough for a tang, and people will jump all over someone else for even having a tang in the first place - thus, "tang police". And it's a bit silly because it seems that it's only tangs that receive this fervor of opinion - ie., angels, butterflies, etc - you don't hear of the "angel police" or the "anthias police".

Dave's just saying that anyone who feels a tang is being served an injustice by being kept in a tank, and applies those comments towards someone in a 600g tank hasn't probably actually seen this tank in person.

My guess anyhow. Sorry if I'm putting words in anyone's mouth!

So "this group" was referring to the tang police/AP-as opposed to Canreef-got it...thanks Tony!!!

(I would be in trouble with the tang police as well I guess!!!)

Your right on the money about the tang police.

I am not sure how many tangs and species of tangs Cougerman has, but some may say it it too many. Some of the fish are full grown also, he has a sailfin and several other that must be at least 12" in size. I would guess he has at least 20 different tangs in there.

Having seen the tank and see how the fish behave, I would say the fish population is fine. Most people would have no real idea how fish would behave in a 600G tank as realistically, most have never seen a tank so large, let alone fully stocked.
