i didnt know if the tess. would be able to make the fish i was planning on putting in disappear? i was going to try and get a 10-12 inch eel and put it in after all of my fish are in so by then the fish would have grown some by that time. i will have to do more research. thanks for the heads up...

alright that was my main concern i was going to do a few tunnels of PVC but if vacuuming is all i need to do to solve my problems that will be great. i got rid of my trigger because the sand issue was so bad it would clear up over night when he stopped and then as soon as the lights came on it...

what are the advantages and disadvantages? i have always had live sand in all of my other tanks but i am now setting up a fowlr 220 and have been leaning towards crushed coral. main reason being i had a humu trigger in my last tank and it constantly stirred my sand up to where i couldnt see my...

what are the downs to an eel? im just curious. thanks for the heads up anyways. only other fish was a banana wrasse and clown tang i wanted i will figure it all out so its not over crowded. i dont know how soon i will upgrade. i was planning on 3 triggers actually but maybe ill go with 4 to meet...

haha alright cool. i was actually going to get out of the hobby but my friend is suddenly moving and hooking me up with his 220 for a great price. i will have everything down in the sump so no wires will be in the tank. should i put anything "less aggressive" in the tank with the queen and clown...

yeah i have a 220 gallon. i plan to go bigger but where i have it the tank cant be any longer then 7 feet "its a set back in my basement wall" i am planning on buying every single one of my fish small, nothing large off the bat. maybe i should get a blueline instead of undulated trig i always...

i will have to find a different eel possibly. i was thinking about a queen, undulate,and clown trigger. a banana wrasse, and a clown or sohal tang. maybe an emp. angel? im not sure how anything else will do with such an aggressive trigger selection. open to all suggestions :) any on eels ? any...

well i am one that likes to try new things :) haha i just dont want a reef anymore and i want a fairly aggressive tank, tesselata eel probably and a few triggers..a wrasse,maybe an angel and tang. i am really struggling to figure out what i want but i was thinking 2-3 aggressive triggers. im...

anyone had any luck keeping anything with one in a tank? only asking cuz im looking to setup a really aggressive tank and i went diving in cococay this past week and saw a group of 4 of them up close " like 3 ft away from me" one of them was like 24 inches long it was HUGE. they are just such a...

thanks for the advice everyone its a tough decision haha because really..i want a mean tank. i want a real aggressive setup but not to the point everything is getting killed. i keep thinking back to a friend of mine who had a golden puffer, large clown trigger, and large radiata lion in a 125...

yeah im trying to find somewhere for him to go, i dont really want to bring him to the LFS i might just have to setup a seperate tank until i find him a home. i know i want a banana wrasse and the dogface puffer i know they can do alright. there will be plenty of live rock and hiding places i...
