4. I thought about the overcrowding thing, but greater minds than mine...
5. It's your job, should you choose to accept it...there are so many species in that tank with ZERO tolerance to any cupric salts...can you imagine having to catch all those fish to go into QT??? (wash my mind out with soap!)
Bottom line? It works and I stand in awe. I don't think I'm envious 'cause I'm sure I'd

up in maintaining it...but I sure wish it was someplace close so I could visit and just watch...public aquaria should have lounge chairs!
It all boils down to the bigger your tank is the more "rules" you can break. There is more than one angel in the ocean.

i really don't think the bioload is a problem when you run 3 skimmers and change out 700 gallons of water every month that takes 4-5 days to do.
what i like is the fact that yes this man is a multi millionaire and owns deltec but he does all the upkeep on system.
and something i found a little funny was with all the so called better salt on the market he uses a 50/50 blend of instant ocean and instant ocean reef crystals.
just my 2 cents.
it is a beautiful tank tho. wish i had one like that.

I see the orange shoulder tang, but I dont think that is the fish he is talking about. The fish I believe the question was about is a fish that is the same body shape as a yellow tang, but it seems to be missing some of its pigmintation. I would say it is a color mutation of a yellow tang.
