They are hard to find, and expensive when you do. Tangs in real life are mainly schooling fish, and they roam all over the place. Territoriality therefore I think is largely an aquarium phenom. The key here is adding small fish, at the same time, and keeping h2o qualitly high, while allowing everyone to have acccess to lots of high quality foods. Multiple algae clips is what we are talking here, and if it were me, macros grown in sump to feed out.

Thats what I have been thinking. I guess only time would tell if it would work long term or not. I have the water quality and high quality foods down. Just gotta get small fish I guess. I think I have a little of your mentality, want to try sorta risky things and try to make them work. Leads to unique and amazing looking setups IMO if you can get them to work.
Agreed...having issues getting my fish back.
That being said I was at the aquarium of the pacific today, and they had a tank with probably close to 100 blue hippo's...its definitely doable ha ha

LOL ya I wish my fish tank with a million gallons or whatever it is there.
Actually, this tank wasnt that big...it was probably 8' tall...by 4' wide...by 8' deep.
But... It was filled with 2 massive fake rock structures. Whole thing was less than 500g I would say. Very little swimming area.

Interesting. A 2,000 gallon tank doesn't seem like enough space for that many fish period, let alone a whole bunch of the same species. I guess if you pack them in close enough together they won't get aggressive. Sounds like way too much rock too, dunno why they would leave more swimming space.
Its just a huge plastic mold of rock too...I wanted to send you a picture, but element mobile is halfway up my uk what.
SO no picture text for me ha ha.
At any rate...the tank also had a large number of percula clowns...they were baitballing...just like at QM.
Tank raised for sure.
