Somebody asked for it way back when I got my new video camera and I never did....So here it is. This is feeding Formula 1, 2 and Spectrum pellets which I do when I get home from work, frozen stuff at night.
Tank is 240 gallon "Aggressive Reef"....Not a ton of "reef", but plenty of "Aggressive"
, jk they all get along quite nicely.

Thanks Henry....BTW, there should be an "HQ" you can press to view in "high quality", it makes the picture a bit better.

Nice tank, seeing your passer angel makes me miss mines. I wish that I could get another one but I have enough fish in my tank now.

Oh yeah, like the HQ mode better. How do all your angels get along, any in fighting?

No major issues....The 2 Dwarfs seem to follow each other quite a bit, and once the newer, larger Flame established himself they are buddies. The Arabian (Asfur) is the top dog of the Angels and occasionally chases the other 4, but nothing serious whatsoever. The other 2 (Emperor and King) are growing faster I think, so it will be interesting to see what happens in the coming months and years.

Very nice tank. You thinking about getting a show size fish in there?
I like buying small and watching them grow up.....The Sohal Tang is growing like a weed, I expect he will be 8+ inches by the end of the year....The Emperor and King Angel, and the Niger Trigger will all be spectacular adults as well, they will just take longer.....I am pretty well stocked, I plan an upgrade in 3 years or so.

How big has your emp got since you picked him up? How fast do they grow up?

I have had the Emperor for 7 months, he has put on about an inch and gotten a lot fatter, will be interesting to see how long the change to adult takes

the tusk acts scared.

beautiful mix of fish
He is the most timid fish in there, and he does fear the big Wrasse a bit at feeding time. He has done great for an Indo Tusk, if I had it to do over again, I would have done an Aussie and gotten him into the tank before the Wrasse.

The tank looks great Kirk.

BTW, what ever happened to the Hawaiian dragon that you were going to get? Or was it a Banana moray?

They get along great, the newer/bigger Flame had to establish himself as the boss of the 2, but now they kind of hang out together.

That's him in my avatar

I was going to get that Fire Coral Eel on DD, but he didn't last long enough....I would still get one if a good one came available.
I bought the King Angel and Flame instead....I would really like to do an Eel and Puffer tank, may take some working on the wife though

That's a King Angel in your av? I did a search on them and every site pic that came up looked different from the one before. Do they change patterns and/or coloration or is just every King Angel different?

They change rather dramatically....I would call the first picture a "sub-adult", the bottom picture is an adult female (males have yellow pelvic fins, females white). Obviously, mine is just a baby.
These guys can be mean as hell, often considered the baddest Angel there is...There was a LFS when I lived in Charleston SC that had a display tank with about an 8 inch King with about the same size Clown Trigger, the King Angel was the top dog and bullied the CT.

So I take it that you don't think this would be a good fit in my reef with mixed tangs, cardinals, clowns, etc.? Doesn't sound like it. I know we have talked Angels before, but they are still on my list one day.

I forget, do you have SPS, LPS corals? As far as aggression, I will let you know how the King goes....I would doubt that that average "big angel" would view Cardinals and Clowns as much of a threat and would probably just give them the occasional "I'm the boss" chase, and Tangs can certainly take care of themselves against about any fish. I have heard some interesting stories of King Angel aggression though.
