I bet what i meant, unless I was not typing right that if I wasn't going to get the one from my friend I would get a much smaller one
Ok, fair enough. When was the last time that your rock was in your display? Do you have lights on the rock in the other tank? I have to be honest and say that without rock in the 180 this fish is going to cause quite a pain in the butt. The bioload is going to increase big time, which means frequent water changes to handle the bioload. This isn't just a very large fish, it is a very large and MESSY fish. You seem determined to get it. I wish you lots of luck with it. Be ready with a whole lot of mixed water.

It was in there all of april and may.. i took it out the end of the week before last
like 6/2.
Yes the rock has lights on it.
I THINK i know what i am getting into with the fish. I am determined.
water changes don't bother me if everything goes right
I will add the rock again when everything with the ick is settled.
what do you suggest I do while I am gone?
The person who watched the house, animals, and fish can feed and top-off and that's about it.
I think refractometers and water changes and hypo is a bit over there head and a bit more than I want them messing with...
