    I have one of those acclimate boxes. They say you can use it to catch fish also. One end of the box is held up with fishing wire and you put food in the box. When he goes in you let go of the string and capture him Wiley E Coyote style. No idea if it actually works but you are welcome to it...

    I didn't think you were. I chose him basically because even if he does fully grow out he will be ok and he looks cool. Plus I got a really good price on him. MY local fish store gave me him for $150. They usually go for $200 + It was more than I want to spend on a fish but for the price and...

    I now see two Coral Banded Shrimps in my tank.

    Protein Skimmer is always a good idea but it is not going to replace doing water changes. I definitely recommend it. For fish only it is a good idea for reef it is pretty much a necessity. The clown may be holding his own now but that trigger is going to kill it. It is just a matter of time.

    Need advice on what else I should add to my tank

    Hello all, I haven't posted in a bit but I have been reading (have to do something at work). Ok my tank is a 90g with a 30g sump mixed reef. Mainly LPS and Zoas/Pally right now but with Mr. BTLDReef's help I am starting to get into SPS. The tank is a year old. I had a nasty flatworm...

    I now see two Coral Banded Shrimps in my tank.

    An Undulated Trigger is perhaps one of the most violent fish that you can get. Your clown is going to be a snack one day. Do you have corals in the tank? I would return that fish ASAP. He will also kill every invert in your tank (most triggers and puffers will). Did you tell the place you...
