I like it! Of course, I love the vlamingi and unicornis tangs. Trust me.. Those two will take up a lot of space in that tank within a year or so...

Probably the reason it works so well! They will definately need a larger tank soon, preferably a 10 foot but we will see what we can fit in the new house.

Way-y-y-y too many fish. I'd be a very stressed out fish.

I guess coming from the world of african cichlids Raf & I know that when dealing with aggressive fish overcrowding works like a charm. This tank has been up for 5 years. With massive amounts of filtration the tank can handle it... the only problem I foresee is the fish outgrowing the tank (unicorn, I am watching you). We have plans to give them at the very least 400 gallons with as much length as possible. We have witnessed far too many cases with large fish in small tanks, it just breaks my heart. Actually quite a number of these fish have been rescues.

That is a really nice system you have there Diana...and the fish seem to be very peaceful.

You mentioned your Unicorn.......they say they can grow to 24-30" in length......well I seen them in Maui this winter and they are simply amazing. I swam around with 6-8 of them and they were all over 24" in length. What a wonderful fish to have.

Well I do have to agree that it is kind of overcrowded! But it looks so natural, the fish doesn’t look stressed at all, water are very clear and the tank looks very clean. Is that a Deltec ?

I just love the way it looks
