Think Dave was referring to Chaloupa's description of what the tang police are. She was rather polite - the whole concept of tang police came about because there is a school of thought that no tank is large enough for a tang, and people will jump all over someone else for even having a tang in the first place - thus, "tang police". And it's a bit silly because it seems that it's only tangs that receive this fervor of opinion - ie., angels, butterflies, etc - you don't hear of the "angel police" or the "anthias police".

Dave's just saying that anyone who feels a tang is being served an injustice by being kept in a tank, and applies those comments towards someone in a 600g tank hasn't probably actually seen this tank in person.

My guess anyhow. Sorry if I'm putting words in anyone's mouth!

Your right on the money about the tang police.

I am not sure how many tangs and species of tangs Cougerman has, but some may say it it too many. Some of the fish are full grown also, he has a sailfin and several other that must be at least 12" in size. I would guess he has at least 20 different tangs in there.

Having seen the tank and see how the fish behave, I would say the fish population is fine. Most people would have no real idea how fish would behave in a 600G tank as realistically, most have never seen a tank so large, let alone fully stocked.

Hey Cougarman. Welcome. You'll find a lot more debate and chatter on this site. People here seem to be alot more open minded when it comes to different ways, and opinions on doing things. I've been in trouble on the other site for just pointing out the obvious, managed to get myself banned from a thread.

There is only one thing we aren't open minded about here and that is PICTURES!!! We need pictures!!!
