I once kept a school of 9yellow tangs, the setup looked really nice but after a couple months I had to break them all up. They wheren't killing eachother, but they did rip fins alot and it was geting harder to feed the weaker ones that where getting picked on.

Looks like a basement operation. Poor guy probably couldn't sneak a 470 by his wife! I'd like to see a webcast and see how they behave.

One way of keeping aggression down in a tank is with overcrowding. If the filter equipment is adequate, IME this tends to work pretty good.

However in a tank with 22 tangs, adequate filtration could put quite the dent in a pocket.

I'm not going to read that Tang thread again but I think I posted to it as it progressed a while back...

A huge tank like that in an unfinished basement or garage is such a waste...well, IMO

let's face it, Kurt- I think there's a LOT of things we would have done differently
