    good video.. nothing wrong with the rock work seems to be quite effective allowing your tang to move in and out different places.

    Thank you!

    That was my main goal, set it up for plenty of room for fish to hide and places to put corals.

    Now I'm wondering if it's allowing detritus to build up in corners and behind the wall.

    probably so but nothing an added pump directed low and in the back should not solve.

    I think your scape looks awesome! what is the length of your tank? it looks like it's pretty long....I think your tang looks very content and seems to have a good length of tank to swim.

    I don't know that there is a specific method to determining when your tank may be too small......I know I can tell in looking at someone's tank if it seems to be too small for a certain fish.....it's kind of like, you'll know it when you see it :)

    Thanks OFK! It's 48" long, so there is a decent amount of length. I know a lot of people hear 60 gal and think the 36" long version. I'm an oddball with the 48" long and 12" deep.

    I don't think I would put any larger fish than him in this tank. I think smaller active fish will help fill this tank out.
