I have some sad news, due to being to busy in other activities, mainly my childrens, I had to make the decision to tear down my 500g tank, I just agreed to sell all my fish to a local fish store, so he can put them in a 1000 gallon pond, so as of Monday, no more fish, it's going to be tough since I have had almost all these fish since they were anywhere from 1" - 4" in length. After Monday I will have to start parting out everything else. So, here is a video I took the other day of my fish with my Iphone, enjoy as much as I have over the last 10years. Just for comparison the Clown Trigger & convict tang are 6-7"length and my Valmingi's are 16" in length.

I just cried for you. That is one HELL of an impressive tank... I work at a LFS so I see all these guys come in and out our doors as babies and hardly ever get to see full grown ones.

Congratulations on an obvious job well done.

That is a fantastic collection of fish, and you should be proud of what you created. The size and health of those fish is something half of us would kill for. I applaud you.

I hope you come back to the hobby at some point!

That was a sweet tank. Children grow up fast you dont want to miss anything, you can always start again when they are grown.
