I have seen some impressive tanks in my days but your fish collection pushes it OVER THE LIMIT! The Black Tang and the Achilies really caught my eye. keep up the good work my hats off to you.

How big are all of those fish? For some reason they look so small in that tank? I know its a 300+ gallon tank but it just looks like they are all 1" long.

I guess I should say I would like to see a photo that is straight on from the front that is the full tank left to right. I saw a few FTSs that were at an angle but it is hard to get feel for the depth, size, and aquascaping of the tank from that angle. Again really nice tank!

Wow!!!! That is a great looking tank. I would love to own a tank like that in the future. I do have a 55 g tank. However, I move away for dental school so my mom has to take care of the tank for me. Tank like your keep me relax from the stress from exams. Thank you very much for sharing the pictures. Please continue to post new pictures. I miss my tank so much.
