And the anemones- or any corals- are a very poor addition to tank with large, aggressive eaters. Water quality is critical and big eaters tend to mean less ideal water quality. While same may try a trigger in a reef, you do not see large puffers and large wrasse (the lunare) in most. IMO, you are maxed out in that tank with those fish.
People aren't telling you to slow down or stop adding certain things because they want to annoy you. People actually are trying to give you sound advice :yes:
Finally, to those reading....collecting of LR in many states is illegal as it is in most of the state of Florida. I don't recommend it. :nope:
Take it easy and if he wants to collect liverock from the ocean let the guy do what he wants and not to lecture him if it's illegal. If I lived near the ocean, I would do the same thing to save money. He only has 2 fish in there and let him have some anemones.
