Wow...I'm a little speechless. Did a little googling after watching and came up with this. Pretty amazing. I love the tri-color tangs.

33 cubes of food and a head of lettuce per day!!! I am going to have to win the lottery twice to have a tank like that!

I was trying to find in his article what size tank was that? Still not sure, did I miss it?

I didn't read the whole article word for word but the few things that did catch me eye ...

One of the picture captions says "We tried to count the number of fish in this shot, and stopped at crikey."

The other thing that caught my eye was that water changes are 700 gallons and take 4 days. Holy crap! And he does them every 2 weeks or something like that. It really is ... I can't think of any word to use but "surreal".

I wish the zoo (or even the Vancouver Aquarium for that matter) could have a display like that. I'd be there every week. Heck, I'd be volunteering to keep the glass clean or something..

No doubt hey! Me too! Yeah pretty surreal indeed. I love the white tang with the splash of yellow on it. O.h I like the... o.k I like it all. Pretty cool tank. Holy crap the water changes. *Dream*
