Tony I've seen your big tank. No offense but it's aquascaped a little too minimally right now for my tastes Very good quote you posted btw.

Yeah, I figure if "less is more" then surely "nothing must be everything!"

That's what I used to tell the ladeez...

Had to beat them off with a stick I bet.

Read my post. I didn't have a stick.

Ok seriously this working from home is making me a WEIRDO.

I've been staring at the aquascaping the last couple of days and I think I might stick with it the way it is for now. It's really grown on me. That plus the eventual addition of my favorite fish the Sohol Tang, he/she will have lots of room to roam.

That's my favorite fish as well. But I don't have that extra 45 gallons of display volume you seem to be flaunting all over the place. So tempting...pimpest fish EVER but ever since I saw some video of one in what I think was a 10 foot 600 gallon or something...I backed out. Thing crossed end-to-end literally in the blink of an eye. I will be watching to see how it goes for you though.

Looks like it's time for more research...

Ha! I was wondering if you saw that.

Well the speed is an issue. Not to mention the MANY posts on RC about them being killing machines as they mature. And I STILL want one. That's the power of a sexy fish right there =)

great white with their teeth in their tail is a good analogy.

Would be kind of cool to say I have a fish that's mean as a great white.. lol, but not really practical.

I have one in a tank with 3 other tangs. He was added last and is the smallest. he was attacking my other fish while floating in the bag . As soon as I let him out he went after a hippo that was twice his size and whipped him . He has since laid off and only gets aggressive at feeding time. He is a total jerk but he has tons of personality
