I guess I don’t have to tell you, but you’re holding tank looks better than most people‘s main tank. LOL. :)

Thanks! The 500 bin has tons of cool stuff in it as well…should be a good start for the big tank!

I'm thinking those Koi look real happy in there you may just have to let this be a KOI pond and forget about adding salt
They are happy but man I’m itching to get some of my big tangs in there swimming around!!

Wow, awesome variety of fish.. that's is a really nice chunk of change swimming around that tank these days

random question but have you thought of getting any of the monster Acanthurus like this big boi (Acanthurus xanthopterus) or do you have the big fish spots all filled lol

That's one of my favorite fish and i can barely find anyone with one let alone a tank that could house it
