I know this thread hasn't been updated in a couple months, but i just wanted to say you have a really good looking tank. Hope all is still working well with the clowns!

Awesome. I will keep dreaming, but don't think I could have even two pairs of clowns in one tank. Hate seeing fish get beat up/killed. I almost added a second pair of clowns(maroons) with my OC clowns about 6 months ago. Good luck!

Wow, what a journey! Kudos on trying something new and getting this far with it. Only thing I wasn't so fond of was the addition of the tangs. That was asking for trouble. .. even if it wasn't the aggression there almost definitely would have been a spike in ammonia that if not caught in time would have been a domino effect to poop land. Any who, kudos on the journey and hope to see more updates.

Thanks Manny.
I need to catch my Tricolor Fairy Wrasse as it's not playing nice...

Here's an update 10 months into the tank. The latest additions have been a Lineatus SuperMale, Rhomboid terminal male, and a Labouti Wrasse.

Thought you had my number. Sorry I don't check SCR every day.
Yes, I decided to sell off my personal collection and try to shut down the fish room. I'll keep these tanks going though.

Here's an update video of the tank and sump.

Pretty sure adding 10 tangs into almost any tank at once is a terrible idea, especiallally a tank already jam packed with clowns. I am by no means a fish expert but this just seems like a sad experiment.

Tangs that were QT'd (medicated) together for over a month didn't seem like too bad of an idea at the time since they were on the smaller side. Live and learn.
The only experimental part of this tank was taking over 10 mature 2"+ clowns and putting them together. This part has been a success.

This month (Feb) marked the one year point with the harem, and I'm amazed at how big and beautiful they got. Sadly I already started selling off some of the clownfish in the tank to make room for a new harem. Januaries video was the final one for this harem. I will try to keep 4 of the original clowns and hope that they play nice with the new ones. The Warrior female Nebula paired up with the full helmet P1 that has popping orange color, a Nebula from my very first order from BA, and possibly a Yellow Belly Saddleback that was a little runt the size of a fingernail when I got him nick named Little Taco (him inside the Nem looked like that).
Here are some video's from this month.

The Nebula and P1 I'm keeping.
