ophiura - great explanation of things - well said. And I agree! AW2 - I'm in the McHenry area - you ever wanna come up, have some beers and watch the fish swim around just let me know. Always happy to swap stories with a fellow enthusiast. psusocr1 - hmmm - if I was flambouyantly bragging I...

Fishfinder - Good Eyes!! Jr2857 - I was kidding my friend! Of COURSE I've researched! Kamaquzi21 - Thank You!! Boalgf - I guess I lucked out - I hear they ARE difficult to care for. When I got mine he was fairly small, 2-3 inches, but he eats like a CARP...just keeps growing and growing...

Oh my Gawd - a doubting Thomas! You'll note I tied my purple tang in with one with the lionfish since it's not in the big tank picture.... LOOK CAREFULLY - there are at LEAST 10 in the big tank pic...11 I think...a tail here...a face there...on the edges of the pic (filefish and brown...

Not to tease anyone...but I buy from a wholesale retailer...he says he can get them for me for $600.00 when they are available. How is THAT for markup when you see them for +$1500?

In my humble opinion - the key to healthy, happy fish is a varied diet. I agree with Robert...variety is great for your tank. Small amount...frequently...you'll get to know when your guys want food and how much they'll consume. I feed my guys 3x a day - varied food EACH time they get fed. Krill...

Yep - aren't they just adorable when they are small? So pretty, innocent...(sigh)...right until the lunch on anything in the tank....

Crox - 12 volt car battery - hook a set of jumper cables to it and then touch the other ends together in the tank. Should stun them enough to grab 'em. Before the hate mail starts - I'M KIDDING!!!!!! :scared: :scared:

(laughing) So you've seen that one...hmmmm? "Had to keep an eye on the white tip shark...." What a load of cr*p!

Oh! I do also have an inline spa filter hooked up (you can see it in the lower left of the full tank pic.). Sometimes I have a filter in it - sometimes I don't. My UV sterilizer has been down since August - just got new bulbs today. Let's see...anything else?....yes...last week Freek and I...

Here's my really tricky dragon wrasse - he's SO good at hiding, isn't he? :hilarious :hilarious

Oh! My avatar is a pic of my dragon wrasse - forgot about that! He usually only comes out in the day and buries himself in the sand at night. Okay...full tank pics. The second picture shows (in part or whole): 2 lions Foxface Yellow/PB/Sailfin tang Blue lip angel Dogface Blueline Filefish...

Few more before the whole tank pic....

Okay you nay-sayers! Now note that the tail end of the powder brown is in this next one with the Dogface Black Picus....

Here is the yellow/powder brown tangs. And the twin spot (another hider - but at least he wasn't buried!).

Whoops...sorry...didn't know mentioning that E-place wasn't allowed. My bad.

Every once in a while someone on ---- lists one - he's in Hawaii and collects them/ Last time....bid was at $650.00 and no one bid. Nice deal...but damn...+$650 for a fish that comes with no guarantees. Too steep for my blood.

LOL...okay okay....let me wait for the lights to come on today and I'll get a few pics. If Freek Azz pokes his head in here he'll confirm my tank set up and my absolute belief that if it ain't broke - don't fix it. He has a....540 gallon(?)...has everything under the sun hooked up into it...and...

The Lions have poked 5 fish - 3 yellow wrasses, and a tang. All died. My dragon wrasse got poked too...huge ulceration...but like a trooper he pulled through! Sad/funny story: had a TOTALLY black and white percula clown....not a SINGLE hint of orange on him. Named him Nebro (get it?) One of a...
