nothing impressive. . ah beng got 100 schooling yellow tangs. . :lol:

After some consideration, kinda regret upgrading to such a huge tank. I wld rather have a nice 3x3x2 ft cube and keep some corals. . instead of such a huge tank with only fishes.

Tank with 2.5 ft heights are seriously killers. i have difficulty doing maintenance as well, hand can barely touch the sand bed.

I thinking of downgrading to a 3x2.5x2 feet tank, for easy maintenance and to keep corals. :lol:
