    So you dont think tangs need big tanks? Im a believer. I just did a quick estimation and from what I calculated out my tang swims 2.18 miles per day in a 16 hour day. How I calculated this estimate: Estimated distance swam over the course of 1 minute. The fish swam apx 12 feet in 1 minute, 12 feet x 60 minutes = 720 ft in a hour, 720 ft x 16 hours (about the amount of time my fish swims around during the day). Feel free to critique my estimated but I just thought it was kind of a interesting reference. This is in a 90g tank.

    I wish I had the heart of a tang, then I can save gas by running to work instead of driving

    I'm sure we walk more than we think we do... yet the average needs to walk more.... or just eat better!

    It's very sad how lazy we have become! Or yet expect things handed to us. (for $2 extra) ;D
