    Chronicle I, Tank III: Big Reefin' Project

    That's actually the fish that I would like to be one of the center pieces of this tank, but I personally believe 6 feet isn't long enough for a larger achilles. Maybe one until its just over 3 inches long and then i would definately need an 8 foot long tank. They need tons of flow too! Anyone...
