    if I had only inverts and a reef I think the mirror would look great but as has been stated earlier the fish will see the reflection and maybe freak out. try the blue fading to black I have it and it looks great just my opinion Alan

    are all trigger fish crazy??

    and you thought that dog was mans best friend. your trigger won't be much of a guard dog but if a stranger puts his hand in the tank you can train him to attack! <img src="graemlins//freak.gif" border="0" alt="[freak]" /> or maybe not sounds like you got a cool fish though Alan

    HOW DO I DO THIS?

    IMO, your tank is not cycled. how big is the tank maybe try another water change to bring the nitrates down. I don't know if this will make the cycling process longer but it might save your fish Alan
