Richard:
Thanks for writing up your tank. I've been wanting to hear about it for a long time, and it sounds great.
I have a question for you that perhaps you can answer, though it doesn't relate directly to your aquarium. I was wondering if groups of yellow tangs will actually school in a largish tank. I'm planning on setting up something like a 540 gallon, maybe a 500 bowfront, and have always liked yellow tangs. If they actually schooled then I'd probably get several. If they didn't, then I'd probably only get one or 2 and get more fish variety.
I recall that Terry said that in his big tank the tangs acted more naturally, cruising the rocks, but don't think he had a group of yellow tangs.
Anyway, I wondered if in investigating large tanks you had run across any info on schooling of yellow tangs. Or terry, do you know?
TIA
