Beautiful tank, Everyone looks fat and healthy. Any aggression issues with all those bad attitudes?

I would like to know that as well.
You broke almost every "rule" here on RC! What is the secret to your success??

This is my second big tank that I've had that has been full of tangs and my secret is pretty simple. Don't try to keep one or two tangs together. They'll likely fight. I think tangs are like cichlids. The more in a tank the better they get along. I know I can add a new fish now and it's just like nothing happened and even if there is a squabble it's over in no time. I also feed pretty heavy which I'm sure helps. As far as the carpet goes. So far so good. Nobody has disappeared yet and it's been 6 months or more.

This is awesome!
I'm going to do all tang for big fish in my 360g. Staying away from angels this time with a reef.

No Chevron?

Amazing tank. Tangs are my favorite. Kudos to you for doing what you want, how you want. Just goes to show there is more than one way to do things.

How long does a nori sheet last in there? 10 seconds? 5?

I used to have 11 tangs in my 300 with no issues. As stated above, everyone has a tiff here and there but it's dispersed quickly

Sohal flared a little bit ;)

The sohal chases the others all the time. But it's just short burst and it never slices or anything. It definetly rules the tank and let's everyone know it's boss.

Very cool. How long has this tank been set up?

I did have most of it in a 180 up until about 4-5 months ago when I switched it over to this. I just added the 150 a few weeks ago though.

Congrats on some beautiful fish!

Thanks! I'm looking forward to them growing out. Going to be something to see them all full sized. Hopefully they get along just as good then.
