very nice and impressive.
I have a question though, how in the world do you manage such a density of critters in there. Technically speaking with the types and sizes of fish, your tank is overpopulated.

How do the tangs like it? at 66" you are at the minimum size for happy tangs.

Is aggression an issue with so many tangs and large angels? (I assume you know they will outgrow that tank)

What are these items, JBL Bionitratex and Sera siporax rings. Never heard of them but if they help you keep a tank like that I'm interested!

Not doubting what you have accomplished, just totally puzzled at how.

Hi there and thank you for taking a interest.

Just so you're aware i've been doing Marines since the mid 70s and have learnt the hard way and I have had many different fish over the years , so I would say I know exactly what I'm buying and the possible outcome.
So to answer your questions what she do have valid points, yes I would agree with you I am over populated as you would say.

All my tangs happy I would have to say yes at the moment.

Is there any issues with aggression I would be lying if I said to you it was zero but it is very minimum with no damage and mainly when the lights go out.

As for the JBL bags ,Bionitratex is a form of carbon and helps reduce No3 very effectively in my opinion and takes about seven weeks to Kickin from the beginning.

Sera Siporax rings are a form of chemical noodles which transform ammonia into Nitrite then into Nitrate. It also states it can get rid of the No3 as well depending on where you position them and how are you stack them.

I would just like to say ,every tank as you know can run different and some people can get away with things where others can't which can cause frustration to some people, as I'm sure you're aware off ,The way my tank is at the moment I am happy with I feel my fish are healthy and content and as they get bigger I will adapt my tank accordingly and when the time comes when the fish are starting to look i'm happy I will upgrade.

I'm guessing you seen some of the videos above and here is another one to look at if you so wish and you will see for yourself how much aggression there is. Once again thank you for taking interest.

I'm just amazed at the bio-density you have in there.
Set-up my first salt tank in 1980 and I knew you were old school when I saw the romaine lettuce for the tangs. You are the first person I have seen use it in years and it is never suggested anymore, everyone buys the nori sheets now.
But I remember way back when if you had tangs, you also had a bunch of romaine lettuce on hand...LOL

1980 you're fairly old school yourself[emoji846]
The bio load thing isn't as hard as you would think as long as you got a enough No3 remover and test regular and keep on top of your maintenance you're laughing.
