Neither do some members here but in the long run there is usually a thread title usually HELP or EMERGENCY and then peoplh get all waaaaaah when people start saying "I told you so".

Just an FYI

KathyC who is a mod on here also has a tang in a tiny tank but nobody comments about it to her?

just throwing that out there

Not trying to cause trouble just saying!

I always make sure I give my fish the proper size tank personally but thought when I read this it was interesting

Kathy says her tang is doing great also and look how nice and fat it is, seems like a very happy fish to me!

Thanks you all. Yes, my tamg and my tank are doing well. I'll post more pictures when I get a chance.

For those who wants to know why I liked this tank so much is because it's low maintenance. I am able to enjoy the hobby without worrying about mixing and matching the pump, sump, skimmer, lighting, etc. It is almost a complete package. I did the following mods.

1. LED lights
2. auto top off
3. added a chiller (a must! since I added pumps at the back and the it being such a close system, the temperature did go up)
4. Added a phosphate reactor.

The downfall
1. Hard to clean the corners. You can't use a magnet cleaner. It just goes over it.
2. Cleaning can be a pain, since it's tight at the back, but I've been accustomed to it.
3. Size - I wish it was deeper so that I can have more sand bed on the front of the tank.

Otherwise, I'm pretty happy with my tank. I am sure I would want to upgrade soon to a bigger tank. I just need to get my act together and draw up my plan.

Thanks you guys for all your support.

Hi Cathy, I got mine from Steve also. What have you done for a skimmer? Do you still use the stock one? I got fed up with it and used a EuroReef skimmer for about a year and just put in a custom sump from Lifereef. Your tank looks great by the way.
