    I think I should pop some popcorn and go through the YouTube comments :p

    Seriously, though, this guy obviously has no idea what he is doing. Poor fish :(

    in his comments he said that he would not let go of his tangs, so he obviously knows they do not belong in a tank that small. That yellow tang is just swimming in circles. He is clearly stressed.

    My LFS sold me a hippo tang when I first entered the hobby years ago, knowing full well the size of my tank (20g). Unfortunately I made a newb mistake. She passed in a few weeks.

    Maybe it's just me but I am not comfortable with bashing someone that is not here to state their case. This person did not post their videos here, yes it's public but I do not think the creators intent was for others to post it all over the forums (yes it's on every forum tonight). I may not agree with the method of husbandry but I think it's a little high school-ish to take pot shoots because of the anonymity sitting behind a computer offers. While the stocking is questionable it's otherwise a nice tank.

    Well, he was invited to join 3reef, among other forums, by a Shane Holtzclaw. TBH, this isn't even the worst of YouTube tangs in nanos.

    Reading the comments on both videos, you can tell there is a lack of experience. Unfortunately all we're doing is just giving him more views.

    maybe someone should just send him a 200g tank? lol

    This is the best paragraph I've read on this forum for months. I have to admit I was shocked that you authored it. My feelings about husbandry in this hobby walk hand in hand with those on religion. I have my beliefs and I will stand by them but I will not belittle "you" for having beliefs that clash with mine. Kudos to you, particularly considering your position on this forum.

    I am a member here first and foremost and still consider myself to be a pretty active member. 3reef attracted me because this kind of silliness was rare. If I want to bash and make fun of people I know where I can go, but personally I am uncomfortable partaking on topics where an individual did not seek input nor are they here to defend themselves.
