i had actually been told by someone else that they will only "dig" down a little bit but not all the way, i don't really mind if he does eat all the critters unless this will lead to a tank crash. any insight? or has anyone successfully kept these fish with a DSB?

haha yeah i know he is very aggressive already and i've only had him 2 days! i'll need a chain glove lol

just thought i'd share my new clown trigger with everyone, he has brought me to the decision of moving my reef to a smaller tank and giving him the main DT. he's in my sump at the moment how would he go with a DSB?

mine would be my red spot blennie

thankyou, i will do

sorry i missed early birds reply. so should i raise it back up and start again then?

i have a blue spot puffer with a great personality, the only problem is he has bitten pieces out of ALL my fishe's fins including my snowflake eel. i am thinking of getting rid of him or is there a way to stop him nipping? and the latest attack has left my poor female maroon clown with a torn...

i guess i must have gotten lucky with my picasso, he is the most peacful fish in my tank. i have with him a blue spot puffer (the most aggresive fish in the tank always biting fins) a juvi emperor a pair of maroon clowns 2 humbugs and a SFE

its down at the back by about 1cm (1/4 inch) not too much but more than i'd like, the reason i asked about how far out is because i have noticed from others post that 6 inches seems to be the common distance. i think i will try shimming first then if that doesnt go well then i will look into...

it's a 4x2x2 solid wood cabinet + hood, it is currently sitting off by about 1/2 inch lower at the back, i am getting a piece of sealed outdoor 18mm ply delivered tomorrow to place the stand on (to distribute the weight evenly) as it has a leg in the middle at the back then the left,right and...
