..... finally had to admit it. Getting counseling and taking pills ....

My favorite group of fishes, I now have 10 across my three tank system. All the genus' represented. Still trying to work out how to squeeze in a powder blue and unicorn. Anyone else obsessed?

I can't get enough of tangs either, I have 4 in my 180. I wanted to add an Achilles tang but I have a powder blue that Hana's never shown a sign of any ich and I know if I add an Achilles they both will probably come down with it. I just count my blessings with a healthy powder blue and don't chance anything. Seeing the Achilles on sale on Live aquaria is sooooo temping though.

@ca1ore, your tank still kinda blows my mind.

Just wait - going up to a 400 in the late-Summer/early-Fall (though I think you know that from that 'other' forum thread). Ought to be able to squeeze in a few more tangs.

As does mine. (LQT) over there...

As impressive as Simon's tank looks in pictures, his tank and basement support system is even more mind blowing in person. I can't even imagine how ridiculous his 400 gallon set up will look when he gets it set up!

I'll be setting up a 180g tank in the fall! Looks like, I'll have to rethink this size and bump it up to 230g, cause I too, love tangs.

I won't keep a Sohal anymore - as close to evil as fish can get. My last one got over 10" and would actively try to nail my arm with its scalpel. Good flick would chase it off.

Trying to decide if a vlamingi or blue spine would work in an eight foot 400.
