Panther Grouper

[tarhull87]

Hey all,
I just got a panther grouper, 2.5" long from my LFS. I have a 75g tank that currently has about 40lbs of LR, a snowflake eel, percula clown, and 2 chromis. My grouper enjoys eating ghost shrimp from the river next to my house.
Will it be alright to house this grouper, I know I have read that they need huge tanks, but how much time do I have till he outgrows the tank

You'll know it's time when it eats the percula and chromis.

I bought a 2.5" grouper in december and he is now 5". They grow really quickly, so you will probably need to get rid of him or upgrade the tank in 12-18 months.
