Thought I would post an updated video I shot last night. I had all this rock and almost all these fish living in a 75 for a few years. Got a good deal on this 125 with custom TALL stand. I had custom stained glass windows of my Ravens Logo put in the doors of the stand. Its hard to see though I still need to get a light in my sump to make them stand out more. Current stocklist is;
huma huma
maroon clown
2 damsels
coral beauty
2 foot snoflake eel
baby porc puffer <-- not eating :(
2 CC stars
sea urchin
250 blue leg hermits
Had a lemon peel angel for a couple months but he went MIA yesterday. I think he got killed by this one hermit crab I have that is the size of a baseball

Pretty tank! A Packer logo would be a big improvement, however! I'd expect the trigger & puffer to be eating the hermits (and other inverts) soon. What has the baby puffer been offered? Usually, they'll eat anything. They love fresh seafood pieces; squid, shrimp, etc.

Our porcupine was very fussy eating only live ghost shrimp. He is now eating PE Mysis, clams (loves clams either the frozen on the 1/2 shell or fresh from thr grocery store) and a little squid

I forgot the clam. I agree, a fresh, opened clam is the #1 way I know of to get a picky eater feeding. The clam, juices, and feeding activity almost always work. I've even used the clam successfully with Moorish idols. Fresh clams are a real treat for almost any tank, even herbivores attack them. (Most herbivores eat lots of meaty stuff. )

here is an updated video of my tank. I got a ton of free live rock from my boy, It completed the tank. The puffer died since the last video but I have a happy healthy hippo tang now. My eel is getting big and i am still convinced he is blind, at least partly blind. Oh an with the added live rock. I am not getting anything out of my skimmer anymore. I think I have enough bio filtration in Live Rock that i dont even need a skimmer anymore. My electric bill is happy

Very cool tank!!! All the new rock looks really good. I miss my snowflake eel. I don't think yours is blind, but I think they just have poor eyesight. Mine would do the same thing when he smelled food and swim all around looking for it when I would have it right in front of him on a feeding stick. I always thought he was going to accidentally eat one of my fish, but he never did. Eventually, I had a lemonpeel angel who just drove him crazy until he stopped eating and died. I hated that fish.
