Ok, just thought that I would share this with you guys. I ran across this guy's website and almost passed out when I saw his tank.
ENJOY the video...

the fish at -7:50to-7:24, -4:02to3:59, and -1:28to-1:20, that looks like some kind of yellow and white tang. and the fish @ -6:32to-6:20 looks again like some kind of black and yellow tang were my favorites if any know the name of those fish let me know. and all that pink and yellow set the tank off

I have to say no to the overcrowding comment. There is 1700 gallons and the fish that are in there look VERY healthy. If you noticed the fish that are in schools look very comfortable. There are a few scenes with a couple of Powder Blue Tangs getting along like peas in a pod. If there were overstocked issues, these guys would be killing each other and all the other tangs.

So it's a color morph of a yellow tang? What ever it is I want one!!!!!!!
This is the sickest tank I have ever seen. That rock work is crazy, I bet there is stuff in there that no one has ever seen (hitching in).

Beautiful it is..........BUT....I do think it is overstocked only because do you really think he would know if an anthias dies in the back, way too many to count. But, if it works for him then go for it. I just think that if a fish dies he wouldn't be able to know. Now, if it where a specimen fish he might miss it.
This would be a true test for the Deltec skimmer!!!

Sooo many questions raised.
1. RULE: No multiple Angels or they'll fight. (I saw multiple angels)
2. RULE: Species A,B,C,etc. NOT reef safe...(seems like lotsa NRS fish in here)
3. RULE: Must have adequate water movement (how do you even BEGIN to aim powerheads in a monster like this???)
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

[hr]
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!
