Thank you for such a kind and encouraging note! Sorry for the delay: just got your response this AM. Okay...due to mostly room/space considerations, we have to go for the 125gallon. What suggestions/recommendations would you have for components i.e.pump, filtration, do we NEED a sump or is it...

I realize that...thank you!

Hi all and thanks for the continued feedback! Deeply appreciate ALL the feedback! 1) Re: 100-125 tank:It wasn't so much the local LFS: I've read countless websites devoted to aquatic life: just about EVERY SITE suggested nothing less than a 100-125 g tank, which is what we're working on now or...

Somehow, I can not imagine that 'styrofoam' with all of the chemicals that make comprise it, would be good for any fish environment!

Hi! Yeah...Floyd's a good 7" in length. What I find sooo confusing is, when we went into our local LFS, we did a great deal of research (about 4 years worth off and on) on what we wanted to do-tankwise and even more research into the critters! Seems that everything I read and others that I spoke...

First of all, I want to thank all of you who took the time to respond. We pretty much knew from the onset that we would have to replace the 20g with a larger one in a short time, which is what we are doing now. Floyd is about 7" long at this point and from what I understand, they do grow big...

Hi! We started up a saltwater tank (20 g) about 2 months ago. We did the live rock and cycling routine and when all was good and up and running, we added our first 'denizen of the deep', Floyd, a wonderful panther grouper with amazing personality and an adherence to Pavlov's Classical Condition...
