you know...I was really hesitant on posting this because I had a feeling you'd reply with something negative. I guess I learned my lesson. You can't at all be helpful with suggesting ways to benifit my systems?
Matti...actucally these fish will be fine with the lion for about another 8 months...until the lion out grows them enough to eat them. Him being poisonious has no effect on any of this. Right now he is actucally smaller than the flame and grouper and puffer, with the puffer being the largest.
Thanks for the support guys.

Well I'd like some good suggestions...not just disapproval. And it's split between two tanks, a 30 and a 37.
The person who said this would be fine definately knows what he is talking about, and I'd take his opinion over any one elses as he deals with this much more than many here could ever dream of.
I wouldn't be supprised if one died from the move or stress, but that happens now and then.
Sorry if I came off harsh...just kinda got upset over it.

yeh i think gettin that larger tank first before all the fish would have been alot better, sure u got them free, but arent fish entitled to live to?
like ok u know a guy that said it was ok, and he probly knows alot, but still logically doesnt seem right. Im thinking of a pair of perculas in a 35 gallon, and maybe.. yes maybe a flame angel or coral beauty. Dont buy for the future, but for the present.

I mean cycle the water between the two...that's all. Through piping.
I'd never do it, but I saw a guy who put a 4" clear pipe through this room on the wall and every 20' or so would have a 20gal bowl front tank. All linked to the 125 gallon he had. There were about 5- 20 gallons. The fish actucally swam all through the tubes...it was set up very nicely but quite a crazy idea!

I think you will be fine w/ the two tanks until you get your 200 set up. Unfortunately , while I do not wish you ill fortune, the flame or any darf should not be put into any tank which has not been up and running for 4-5 months wuth no problems. There are always exceptions. Hope you have one.
For the best chance of survival of the flame, you may have to increase your water changes and constantly measure for nitrates. A sincere good luck.

Hmmm........one problem off hand is that puffers are notorious fin-nippers. Lion fins are not to be reckoned with.........the puffer or grouper will find out when they nip him.
Are you running eclipse tanks? I hope not. No skimmer for all that waste.
That grouper will outgrow either of those tanks before four months is over.
Good luck buddy. If you are looking for kind words..........Bravo!

Hey man I dont blame you at all for getting the fish when you did. Some of us dont have butt loads of cash and need to take the road less traveled sometimes to get ahead. By the way if you run into another free flame angel .......

I hope this doesn't come across as a flame. If you're more concerned about financials than the well being of the fish, why don't you take them to a LFS for credit, or even sell them. You would still end up with more than what you had before you picked the fish up, and the fish would be destined for a more appropriately-sized home.

Chuck I must say its nice to see such a nobel man as yourself care about the well being of animals that were gased, tnt'd or netted from the original habitat as you are.
