I have a Queen Angel also not yet adult. What kind of trigger fish are they? what do the triggers eat? What type filters are you running? Thanks Tom C. :happyfish
Triggers: Humu/Picasso, Crosshatch, and Clown
Seems like they'll eat about anything, but like raw shrimp best. They'll rip a crayfish apart pretty quickly, but that is more entertainment than feeding. Makes a big mess.
Running an AllGlass sump with bioballs with an ASM G3 skimmer. Will likely add some kind of canister and UV -- I have an Ocean Clear canister/UV at home, but I'm not sure I'll add it. It came missing the o-ring around the top, so I have not plumbed it in. Also, I'm really concerned about the effect of a canister filter retaining contaminates in the filter while water is constantly flowing over them, which means that the bad stuff is not actually removed from the system often enough. The Ocean Clear seems like it will be a real pain the butt to remove the filter and clean it, which would likely mean cleanings are rarer. I think that if I add a canister, it's going to have to be extremely easy and mess free to clean, sort of like an XP, but larger.
I do weekly 30 gallon (20%) water changes, and pull about a gallon a day from the skimmer. That, combined with cutting way back on the food compared to what seems to be natural for me to feed, keeps the water quality up.
