This is very common, you see people over in the Japan/Singapore area do this all the time. They just throw tons of fish into the tank at one time, and basically it looks like everything is fine, but in time, as the fish get larger and stake out territories, some of the fish are going to attack and kill the other fish, resulting in losses of fish.

It's amazing how he has clown, sohal, amd Orange shoulder together. Then he has a purple,achilles,and a powder blue. Then all the angels. And to top it off he has corals. Amazing. And a regal angel. All in a 150. Too small but still amazing to say the least

Amazing he doesn't have problems with ick anyone know his procedure for qt?
All the fish looked healthy seems like a ticking time bomb though maybe he removes them as they get too big seems stupid to me if I buy a fish I plan in keeping as it reaches maturity !

Must have a lg sump attached

They look like fake corals

Absolutely %100 fake corals. Its a reef insert and the tank looks brank new judging by the cleanliness of the glass and powerheads, they both look brand spanking new.those poor fish they cannot be happy and how do you keep all of them well fed? Especially without over polluting that tank. With all those different tangs, nowhere to hide ,and the over population of fish there will be and ich outbreak in that tank. You can quote me on that!

I don't see what can be fake about this fowlr system. I have 26 fish in a 115g with no ick or velvet outbreaks. I also don't qt, and my tank is full of sps. I don't promote my way of stocking, but I believe that every fish is capable of getting ick regardless of qt or not. It's the water quality, feeding, and compatabality(no fighting), and overall system healthy + stability that determines long term health. This is my opinion and experience, there are probably many scientific explanations and hobbiest experience that contradict my opinion. :)
The one thing ghat I notice is that almost all of the velvet or ick wipe outs are in new systems. I am betting that inadequate bioligical filtration is the likely issue.
