Nice tank it is amazing!!!! I've got a few questions. 1) Dose anyone know the minimum gallon size for the Achilles tang. 2) what type of shark do you have 3) Your power bill must be extremely high? 4) What is your favorite tank/fish. 5) have any of your fish mated and the offspring lived? Again that is a great tank. it is even better than the reef tank at the GA Aquarium i think!!!!!

The Achilles tang can grow up to 8". I believe they recomend a tank of at least 100 gallons. I have a Black Banded Cat shark. You really don't want to know my electric bill, more than a car payment.. My favorite fish is probably the Dussimeri Tang pictured below. I have one in the 470 and the 600. I have a couple of different pair of clowns, in different tanks that lay eggs every two or three weeks, but haven't had any off spring make it past hatching. Thank you for your compliments,, the tank are still a work in progress...

If the octopus gets big he might eat the lobster. I've seen it happen on a night dive.
