I'm guessing you like tangs?

What are the dimensions of that beast?

^^ agreed. To many tangs, they look way to cramped.. and 8 of those tangs you have can get over 14"...

You do have a lot of big tangs in there. I hope they stay happy for you. Some may have to go eventually. What are the dimensions of the tank. Is it deep because the front looks quite small for a 450g.
If they have a lot of room at the back you might be ok. Good luck.

No disrespect, but that's way too cramped for those fish that get crazy big.

funny stuff with all the mentioned above. the shoot was taken when I feed so you could see all the fish at the same moment. The picture is decieving. The tank is 36 inches deep. these guys have plenty of room and are beyond healthy. they have all been together over two years.
My skimmer is a Precision Marine XL 2 skimmer with a panworld 250 pump. Plenty of skimmer.
thanks for your all your comments.

Seen this tank MANY times in person. These tangs are some of the healthiest and least stressed in the aquarium world that I have ever seen. Yes the pic does look decieving with all them up front, but with the depth of the tank there is a lot of room. Tank looks great man, good luck with it.

Looks very nice now, But they will outgrow it very fast..... Some of them will also get very aggressive once they are larger....

Good Luck....

Nice tank, I'd love to have 36" of depth to work with, so many more options.
