Below are pictures from the last week and more to come. I have been working with this tank over the last 3 1/2 years. At 2 1/2 years I stopped stocking the tank to maintain what I have till they receive their new home and then I’ll most like not add anything since my attention has turn to watching the kids as my wife at I call them grow. The oldest fish is the hippo tang to the youngest the annularis angel. Some people may disagree with the setup and that’s ok since it's a free world they have been posted for your viewing pleaser. The tank is a 180G aga rr with 250lbs LR and 150lbs LS, tank temp is keep at 77F. Now for the pictures

sorry about the photos they started out at 2576x1932 and I resized them to 1024x768 forgeting about the masses out there so now they're 640x480 hope this works. Yes the eggs do hatch and you watch them grow in their eggs over a week to two weeks after that I have no clue what becomes of them in this tank.

have you had any problems with the PBT? I've read they're hard to keep and don't respond well to bullying...I have a chevron tang that gets along fine with my hippo tang, but picked on my naso. The naso had to go, but I want to get a PBT. Nervous about starting trouble in paradise.

Could you give us a full livestock list? Your aquarium makes my tank look like good old fashioned Michigan horses doo-doo.

The PBT was added towards the end and I say this for all the fish they get along 99% of the time. Their is a pecking order in the tank and everyone pretty much doesn't try to change it.
