Realized that I could tap to focus on the new iphone just before it rang and cut the vid short lol...

Nice tank! I like the way you scaped it.

rgrking · Spawning

I like those LTA's. Did you buy all of them or did they split?

TimH07 · Reef-Geek

BTA? 1 split to 12...ish

rgrking · Spawning

lmao sorry. Long day. Cool on the splits. Was it stressed when it split?

TimH07 · Reef-Geek

Nope, they just divide every time I give them silversides, need less to say I've stopped that practice.

LadyOfIreland · Dr. Zoos

Wow, what a beautiful tank!! Lots of great colors in your corals and fish

Thanks for sharing!

rgrking · Spawning

you should split them a couple more times and sell me the babies cheap!

Love the tang doing laps around the tank.

Looks great!

TimH07 · Reef-Geek

Part of the aquascaping is I didn't want any rocks leaning on the back so the fish could swim behind them, like that tang doing laps lol.

donkey · Big-Geek

Great looking tank

LeviT · 2yr vet

Great tank!

Great Tank! I too wanted to know if you have timed the tang's lap speed!

Very nice video, thank you for sharing.

took out the stopwatch for the video...

8.8
7.6
8.2
8.9
8.0
8.1

Thanks everybody! It took some time to get where it is!

Ok... check my math but....

Average lap speed of 8.2666 seconds

Estimated Track length front 36"

Estimated Track length back 36"

Total Fish Track Length = 72"

There are 5280 feet in a mile, at one MPH that would be 88 feet or 1056 inches per minute

The fish makes 7.623 laps in one minute which = 523" per minute

This means the fish travels on average at 0.495 MPH.

Special Note: I assume the turns and nasty slow downs on the back side of the track mess up its speed because down the open straight away (as shown in your video), it's clearly most likely reaching a blazing 4 MPH!

Feel free to check my math...

Grumpy!

Nerd!!

But seriously,

That's pretty nifty! Makes me wonder how far a tang could go in the ocean in a 24 hour period, making a straight shot. Hmmmmm....

TimH07 · Reef-Geek

48" tank and he's nearly hitting the sides, we'll give him 45" track length... recalculate route!

TimH07 · Reef-Geek

I've got 54.5 feet per min.

Pat B · Geektacular

Average lap speed of 8.2666 seconds

Total Fish Track Length = 90"

There are 5280 feet in a mile, at one MPH that would be 88 feet or 1056 inches per minute

The fish makes 7.2586498911202516331962255020566 laps in one minute which = 653.2784902008226469876602951851" per minute or 54.439874183401887248971691265425 FPM

54.43987418340189 foot/minute = 0.6186349339 mile/hour

Is that enough decimal places for y'all??
