Before anyone gets to excited over the bioload in this 320 gallon tank. The baby sting rays and the epaullette shark were in a different tank. They've been moved to the 320 temporarily due to a fire I had before Christmas. They will be moved back when I finish repairs. There is also a Golden or banana(depending on who you ask) moray in the tank. There's a picture of him on my avatar

Sorry to hear that. Whats the temp of your water? My cali's would always lose thier patterns if the temp went up. Just curious.

It stays about 75 degrees in the winter a little higher in the summer. They seem to aclimate pretty well.

wouldnt it be better to have the bamboo in the 200? i thought epaullettes were a lot more active than bamboos

Actually the bamboo is much more active than the epaullette. The epaullette hides most of the time until the dinner bell rings. The 200 gallon tank is a custom made tank especially for the sharks and sting rays. It's 84 inches long by 30 inches wide and 18 inches deep.

toughguy80, doesnt the trigger pick on the lion?

No, he's actually a big chicken. My Emperor's the boss of the tank at only 4", then my 4-5" Hippo, and my little 2" damsel followed by the trigger lol. Pretty much, whenever any of them get next to the antenneta(6-7") and he doesn't want them there, he flares up and they run. The trigger right now is in the 4-5" range as well. Maroon is left pretty much alone as well as the eng. goby. I feel I've been REAL lucky with my fish b/c I've never had any problems with aggression. I think it's in the order that I added them (Maroon, damsel, hippo, antenneta, eng. goby, emperor, trigger and lastly my new fuzzy lion) My biggest concern are 2 big sally lightfoot crabs in there that take shots at the fish. They're gonna have to go soon before they hurt one, they even go after my trigger and he runs

Whole tank shots are hard due to the location of the tank..
It's visable from three sides but tucked in between the Reef and the bookcase..
Hard to get far enough "back' to get a full view..(on film)
Here's one but it's not a great "shot"...
