Hi! I just put the article together. This tank belongs to @gws3, so your question is for him I believe.

Thank you all for the kind words!

That's RMF Red Halo. The yellow highlights really come out when it's happy and getting blasted.

That's a great point and something I definitely didn't touch on. I haven't measured in a while, but I'd say it's about 200 on the bottom to 500 on the top. I'll grab some measurements when the lights are all on and get back to you.

Most of the tangs in this tank were with me from the previous display tank. The powder blue, blue, and yellow tang have been with me for about 15 years. The regal angelfish has been with me that long as well, but was with another hobbyist for about 5 years before that, so is 20+ years in captivity. So they've had plenty of time to get thick!

That's a piece I named. GWS Arcoiris. Arcoiris is Spanish for rainbow. It was a wild or maricultured piece that turned into something special in captivity.
