It's a beautiful tank but I just feel that it may be overcrowded with so many tangs!

Rome wasnt built over night and im sure this guy is doing everything to the T so when he's ready to throw some shots on he will. i just rather see him do it right (looks perfect so far) then rush this amazing set up we are all waiting to see more of.
im starting up something 1/10 of this and man its hard to find all the time it requires. if i did do it all right away id be broke, jobless and girlfriendless. The pains of this hobby can not be described in words. - its so worth it though

I am trying to understand the plumbing maze, and for the life of me can't think what "CL" stands for or what the neptune probe does.

Now I feel lame because my first reef tank was 10 gallons. Hah. That is just disgustingly amazing. One day I plan to have a fish room =] Keep up the good work man.
