Had a six line wrasse, was a great fish for eating pods, also ate bristleworms, turbo snails, coral banded shrimp, royal gramma, feather duster colony , tin cans , and who knows what else. Good lawd! I must have had really good luck. Over the years I have had 4 and never much trouble except...

Great looking tank! BTW, you wouldn't happen to be from the south would you? Hogknuckles?!? I'm an old Georgia boy myself. Moby

Common behavior for these guys, the only problem might be if you get clowns. He would beat the snot out of them over that coral. Moby

I agree, they can be a little quarrelsome, but one of the few fish their size that can go toe to toe with damsels and not get bullied. Moby

I'm thinking of using a quiet one 6000 for a closed loop. anyone using one? is it quiet? Well I think if they named it the "growler" the marketing people would have had a tough sell on their hands. Sorry I couldn't resist, I've never had one so I'm afraid I can't help other than with the...

Sixline wrasse is a great fish! One of my favorites! This little guy is energetic, has a ton of personality and once comfortable in his new home will entertain for hours. They are tough as nails too. Very attractive, if not often overlooked. But why I don't really know, somehow people miss...

Thanks, glad I could give you a good chuckle. I guess I'll have to post my picture now. Just need to find a good one WITH clothes. Moby

By flow rate I thought you meant through the entire system, tank to sump to protien skimmer back into the tank. As far as water movement you want to make sure the water is in motion with no "dead" spots. Some corals prefer slow soft current others like a lot of movement. They should be placed...

......and you do something like this.........n totally redeem yourself! (quote from one of my favorite movies....sorry couldn't resist) Do you want to hear the worlds most annoying sound? Moby

Is it reef set-up? Or FOWLR? 10X to 20X, but this is highly debatable. Moby

Hey cowfishrule, I respect your ideaology (sp?) BUUUUUUTTTT, I used to think the same way and now at the age of 41 with teenage kids I gotta tell you, good luck! It never works out that way, I thought I would be the cool dad. Bah! There comes a time when the cool dad wisens up and just becomes...

How about some water!?! Moby

In my mind, integrity restored. Very nice tank, I like the name you gave your clowns. And yes in one of the photos I could see the corals in question. Moby

I've had luck with brocoli. Although that was years ago. I haven't used it in a long time since there are really good foods available now. If you do feed brocoli, freeze it first. That way the cellulose (sp?) will be broken down and they will feed on it more readily. Moby

Certainly not worth it! Does the phrase"cavity search" send shudders down your spine? My next door neighbor is a customs agent, he said they'll hang you up by your busterbrowns and shake you until all your dignity and money rattles loose. Besides even if you some how do get it through I have...

Well bonebrake I could see how that could happen. But you can't blame us for yelling foul in this circumstance. If that is the case I apologize for accusing your pants for being on fire. If you really want to put your credibility back in good standing, take some pictures of your zoo's as they...

Spiked09, yes you can do a closed loop without drilling the tank. Yes it is safe even if the power goes out. Think about it, if water leaves the tank goes through the pump and returns to the tank what difference is made if it stops running. Nothing. There is nothing to overflow, just water...

I don't know anything about "crazy California" laws but unless something has changed here in Arizona it is illegal to own one in an aquarium. Get this, the reason why, they don't want them being released into any of the rivers or lakes!! Its not like an alligator, I mean a shark has 0%...

And no not really necessary, but they look good and create more of a natural flow that reef animals are used to. I think they definatly help. Moby

They are going to squash your link, not allowed. But as a way to help, keep looking. There are better systems out there. That is basically a timer for power heads. If you are going to go that route you could DIY cheaper. If you want something a little more advanced it will be more expensive...
