    This tank is so cool. I love the size. It gives you so many options in scaping. Huge tank yet not so deep you need the sun to reach the bottom. My tank is eight weeks old and cannot wait to upgrade. I know my wife says I need help.

    Thanks! We started with a 29 gal. We still have it sitting in our office with our first clown's in it. They're the two who are laying eggs. This hobby is so addicting! We now have multiple tanks.lol Our friends think we're crazy too. :)

    I would love to have more than one as well! If only I could figure out how to not pay an arm and a leg for electricity.

    Here are a few pic's of the two. They've acclimate nicely and have even become buddies with our yellow tang who was already in there. The pics are from my iPhone so they're not the best. I'll get my camera out when I have more time. Both of these fish are around 5 inches in length. Crazy how they don't look that big in there.lol

    sweet tank...I only hope one day I can have a huge tank like this. Looks clean and bright and vibrant. Good inspiration for when I upgrade from my lowly 10 gallon hehe

    Here is a video of our tangs enjoying some algae strips. Not too exciting, just happy that three large tangs are already buddies after only being together one full day. We've had the sailfin and the blonde naso for close to a year now. We picked up the yellow tang a few months ago when the 265 was ready.
