Hey all,

First, for those who have Curiousity Stream, I highly recommend a documentary called "Surviving in the Lagoon". It centers around the life of a Convict Tang in an atoll in France, and not only has excellent footage of its life cycle, but also of many other parts of that coral reef. The pictures of the upper reef crest are awesome too - massive numbers of Pocillopora verucosa colonies (i.e. this upper reef crest gets LOTS of surge).

Second, how big a tank - i suppose dimensions of the free swimming space are more useful than gallons - would people guestimate be "humane" for a group of say, 7-9 convicts? (I know the answer will be "big........." As in "pond" not "aquarium")
