Wow Great pictures Eric, (for all of them) however I don't think your pictures of Lapsan's tank fully encompasses how many fish there are in here :D

Very true. Lap has an army of fish; most of which aren't captured in the pictures.

I forgot to ask, but was Lap's tank made out of starfire or other low iron glass? It looked really damn clear considering how thick the glass was.

I believe this is a 300 gallon tank and the last fish in the picture is a male crosshatch trigger.

Ouch, I think I'd remove the coral beauty and paint it to make it look like the joculor if that happened!
