Well I should rephrase my original question. Anyone had a hippo go from say 1" to 10"? Or anything close? I just personally haven't seen much fish growth so I'm just curious.

Anyone here actually have a 12" hippo? Or a 10"? So often I hear people say they'll get this size but I have never seen one that big except in the Georgia Aquarium or something. If you do have one, post a pic!

What do you mean by cycle your lights? If you mean how much light should you give your tank while it cycles, I believe the answer is none. It will just add to your algae growth.

You bought all those at once? Don't triggers pick on sharks? I was thinking they like them for their cartilege(sp?). Either way, the Undulate will likely go ballistic and kill them all. Seriously.

Six-line wrasse...that would cover green (and a few other colors).

It's a 72 gallon. I better give it a while though since my tank is new. I'd just like to have something that sifts through the sand.

I read that you have to have a refugium to house one of these gobies or other sand-sifters. Is this true? I have a FOWLR tanks with plenty of LR and LS. I don't have a refugium though. I have a wet/dry and canister. Thanks

I have to go with Undulated on this one. Triggers generally do not grow more than 1.5" per year in an aquarium. I think some people on this board exaggerate how fast fish grow to dissuade people from getting them. JMO.

Anybody ever heard that some dwarf angels (i.e. lemonpeels, bicolors, etc) don't do well in fish only tanks, but prefer reef tanks? I read that on a website yesterday and had never heard that before.

What kind of fish died?

I had a 72 gallon aggressive a few years back and kept: Snowflake Eel Niger Trigger Lunare Wrasse Blue-spotted Grouper They all did very, very well for several years until I moved and gave them away.

Originally Posted by Ice4Ice The tang will outgrow the tank. I can agree with that. Any other tangs or dwarf angels you would replace it with? I'm looking for hardy species.

You think the tang is overkill or do you think it wouldn't get along with the rest?

I just set my 72 gallon FOWLR up the other day after taking off 5 years from the hobby. I used to have an aggressive tank, but now I'm thinking I'd like some smaller, more peaceful fish and some inverts. I don't have much knowledge on these types of fish though. I know there are varying...
