So first off, so glad I finally pulled the trigger and joined this forum. I've been keeping saltwater for about 13 years now, and finally got my 380 gallon shallow (96" long x 48" wide x 19" tall) Bashsea custom acrylic aquarium back up and running as a saltwater a few months ago. I took a quick video of the tank tonight and figured I might as well share it with a bunch of other fish nuts here!



Tankmates include:
1 rescue hippo tang (came from a 75 gallon tank with a clown trigger and a grouper)
1 clown tang
1 unicorn tang
1 two barred rabbitfish
1 Moorish idol
1 koran angel
1 regal angel
1 flame angel
1 lemonpeel angel
2 coral beauty angel
1 dot dash butterflyfish
1 Pacific double saddle butterflyfish
1 longnose butterflyfish
1 mollucan damsel
2 azure damsel
2 blue devil damsel
1 Humbug Damsel (in sump resident)
2 banggai cardinalfish
2 pajama cardinalfish
2 black cap basslet
1 orchid dottyback
1 splendid dottyback (need to catch from sump, he hitched a ride over the overflow)
1 lyretail anthias
1 cleaner wrasse
1 algae blenny
1 bicolor blenny
1 niger triggerfish
2 Wyoming white ocellaris clowns
2 tomato clowns
1 electric blue hermit
1 cleaner shrimp
2 peppermint shrimp
2 coral banded shrimp
1 photosynthetic gorgonian
1 bubbletip anemone
1 Banded serpent starfish
1 Pink serpent starfish

Thanks for the welcome! I love the baby regal as well, one of my favorite fish in the tank. It's actually doubled in size since I brought it home around 2 months ago. Feeding 5x per day helps with growth for sure. I attached a picture of the regal from around a month ago.

Also I forgot to mention that there is an emerald crab in the tank as well.
