My current project is raising Ocellaris Clownfish Fry. My next will be raising Green Mandarin Dragonette fry. I've never got the Dragonette fry past 5 days. I think I now know why......

I've considered a Zebra Moray or 4. As I understand they pretty much ignore fish and go for the crustaceans. If I found some large ones I wouldn't have to worry about my Amphipod population.

I consided some hobbiest bred Blue-dot Stingrays. After further research I turned them down as too predatory on sand bed infauna and fish.

actually bang guy should build these things for a living now. buy a flat bed truck hire a truck driver and ship these babys nation wide... until he creates an empire for himself...

 

[maverick005]

any recent pics guy?

 

[bang guy]

Nope. I'll work on it.
It's not easy to photograph because the basement ceiling is very low.

stunning. That should get you a Dr. to put before your name.
It sure would be nice if you could find some way for it to pay for itself.
I'm very impressed with the skills.

If the DEA knocks on your door we'll all know why. They are probably expecting to find something else in your basement based on your electric usage.
We love your posts.

Bang -
As a newcomer here, I just had the opportunity to read about your lagoon. Fascinating, awesome.
Plus, your willingness to share your knowledge is admirable.
I'd like to hear a little about the success of the display tank and as a result of the lagoon - primarily the growth rate of your corals.
I'm sure I'll have more questions, but I'm still in awe.
