Here is the new frag and sump set-up attached to the main tank. The sump is a 180 and the frag tank is a 180 I cut down on the tablesaw to 14" tall and added two cross braces. An updated display tank shot too.

I'm guessing you didn't add all of the tangs at once, so how did you do it without them killing each other?

I've had the Purple tang for years and he was the first in the new tank, but I did ad the two tellow tangs at the same time to level help with the aggression. The bristletooth was about a month later. Powder Blue I added about 3-4 weeks later with the Lamarck Angel. Vlamingi was not an issue(completely different shape) and the last was the Sohal, which I knew it was the same family as the Powder Blue( which now was the mob boss) but the sohal's size was about 30% larger than the rest so everyone left him alone and now it is the boss.

Thanks. The rock is loose stacked but I do have small pvc frames on the two side stacks. I made basic box frames out of 3/4" pvc to create good caves and flow and help with the live rock cost. I still have about 250 lbs of live rock in tank. The center is a large rock with two small ones on top.
