How much live rock do you have in the tank? that seems something like 2 lbs or more per gallon.

That is a beauty of a tank! I see a little coraline algae on the intake to the canister and some other equipment. What do you dose? and give us some specs on the tank...once again..NICCEEEE!
thanks guys.
daceman89 - yes, it's 4 hippos. took me long time to get them together. it's hard to get the right size.
brianx45 - i change every 3 weeks.
yourbedormine18 - acans are not for sale.
killerdrgn - i should have 110 or 120 lbs or live rock. it looks a lot because big gap between rocks.

Wow amazing tank man. Great pics too. What camera and lens did you use?
So you had the SAME tank setup for two years and you have good coraline growth on rocks and overflow but NO coraline anywhere on the glass?? :scratchch:scratchch
How long you had the four hippo tangs in your tank?(looks like a 72 bow).

Nice stuff, how the hell can you have four hippo in a tiny a$$ 72g tank?
Tell me when the hippo tang beat the hell out of each other. I had two in my 180g and the big one beats the hell out of the smaller one.

Amazing CLEAN look! What size is the tank? Fish list please...curious, along with sizes if you can. Do hippos chase each other or bother each other at all?
this is a 72g bow tank. i do have coraline on the glass but very little. just use the magflow to clean it twice a week. like i said before, the only thing i do different from other reefer is the canister and skimmerless. i really don't know why the tank so clean. i had the tangs for 6 months from different lfs. its hard to get the right size. micro, little, medium and giant. usually the giant chase the medium, medium to little and little to micro. poor micro. they get along pretty good. one thing that i don't like them is nipping my acans. 
I have seen his tank and tangs, the biggest one is only 3-4 inch, and the rest are from 2 to 1 inch. Everyone looks heathly, so there nothing be concerned about. I was only joking when I said i am reporting it to tang police... Not!:tongue1:
It would be fine if fish didn't grow. But hippos can grow to be 12 inches...
In this tank they will probably die before they get to be that big.
