No no no...I will never leave the dark side of the FOWLR. I will have my 350 with the aggressive fish and a 180 reef.

Don't leave, (as you quoted to me when I first started wanting a aggressive) "The Dark Side"
jk I know you won't... I'm just being dramatic!
there is no reason (besides money and a wife) not to have both, it is a totally different aspect to husbandry. Cool tank with lots of big beautiful fish, boring tank with higher maintenance smaller margin of error. And sesile animals waving in the water.

Hey GNorman! Been a while man! Where have you been? How is your tank? Is Belle ok?
I bought the crosshatch 2 weeks before christmas and he has been in QT until Saturday night.
He is a great addition so far.

i hate to tell you this but, be lost her.
it happened while i was up at college.
but i think we had her for about 2 months or so.
one day spencer called me and told me that belle was hiding a lot in the rocks and when she did come out it looked as if she was having problems swimming ( i was guessing it was a swim bladder infection somehow) the next day we lost her.
so it seemed as if all of the sudden she got sick and died.
we have lost too many fish, and it really sucks. we havnt been having any luck with adding new fish so i just started to add some corals.

96x36x24. I am planning on using 2 skimmers on it. I will have a 60-75g Refugium and a 125g tank inline for water flow through.
I will use my G3 within the 125 and have a Euro Reef RS-135 or 180 in the system. Together they are rated from 500-700g of water.
Right now my G3 is handling the bio-load quite nicely, but I think having an additional will make it super clean.

I'd be carefull with the rating some companies claim on skimmers. for e.g. the euro 135 is only really rated for up to a 135 with medium bioload. the higher comparitve rating for gph. the g3 is rated for up to 250 but problably with a light bioload. I would go with a least a euro 250 with the g3.

I really missed that fish. He was awesome! He ate right out of my hand, blew substrate around to look for food and carried around the lettuce clip in his mouth like a dog and its chew toy.
I was back at the LFS right before christmas and was talking to the manager and he said that he had an update on my blueline. I knew right away that it was not good news.
Apparently, one of the big account that they service wanted the fish so they put it into a 300+ tank. I guess that it was doing great and was being a real good fish until a new guy that was brought on to do service came into the picture. Well, I guess that he was removing dirty water from multiple accounts' tanks and replacing it with pure RO water...NOT Salt water.
Needless to say, the tank's salinity dropped dramatically (they usually do 30-50% water changes to keep the water sparkling). He killed $1000's of fish and one of them was my blueline.
Needless to say, I was PISSED.

Thanks Yannifish! It is sad about the blueline, but it happens waaaaay to often in this hobby.
