What's your feeding schedule like for those anthias? They look wonderful... I was wanting to get a few myself. Have you had any problems with them picking each other off?

I feed my tank once a day. I find that the anthias like to eat brine shrimps more than mysis shrimps. Only the male lyrair tail chases the other Evans Anthias.

I stop keeping track after $10k.
That might be a bit much for a 55G but since those are small size fish I'd say if you really want them then you're at the limit. I can't remember but blenny might be aggressive toward each other. Also some angel might eat zoas.
Flow is the key to a healthy tank. I don't think you'll need the penguin filter if you already have a skimmer.

this tank really looks like an actuall reef the fish are probably happier in there than in the ocean lol the colours are amazing, love zoas myself.
That's my intent when I started my tank. I wanted it to look like an actual reef. I just wish I had a bigger tank.

i bet if you fragged everything in your tank and sold it all you would have enough to upgrade to a 125 for bigger

I actually am from the local forums that Peter (as he's known to us) and I can attest (and anyone else that's seen his tank in person) that those pics don't do it any justice. Peter always has great prices on his frags and is the nicest guy around... I've already gotten 5 or 6 frags from him and I'll be getting even more... My wife said she's going to do some xmas shopping at his house... If anyone ever has a chance to see this tank in person don't pass it up... it's better than the aquarium in Boston by far...

I think you're right. It's just that I live on the 2nd floor and I don't think the floor can handle a 155G tank. Just gotta wait until I move.

Hi Joe,
I just had a couple of guys from RI came over to see the tank this weekend. They said it's not bad of a ride, took them 1:15 to get here.

It's def worth the trip. I'm about an hour away from him and I'd drive 2 or 3 hours to see this tank... That good!!!
Although the first time I saw it I was a little overwhelmed... After that the visits were better and better...
