    I give it an F for these reasons. It looks kind of nice to start, but there are so many fish that once you really look at it its almost nauseating. Also, I don't like plastic decor for a few reasons. 1. It gives no personality to the tank. 2. It looks unnatural. 3. Its stressful to the fish. Also, without any inverts, the tank is way less interesting. All of this would amount to about a D. What makes it an F is how stressful that would be to the fish. No hiding places, way overcrowded. The tangs must be at least a bit malnourished with nothing to graze. Not even one veggie clip in there.

    I don't like it.

    Did like the fact that I seen two Naso's in the same tank. Would love to get another one for mine.

    The only time my tank has been that spotless was within it being put up the first couple of weeks! How long has he had it up? How many fish have already died or has he replaced?

    To busy with all those fish for me.

    I was thinking the same think. Looks like he just set it up and dumped everything in and shot the video the next day. It looks way to unnatural and sterile.

    ?

    Plastic decor is waayyyyy cheaper than any live rock or coral I have ever seen.

    Also he can't really have corals in there. A lot of his fish are not reef safe.
