yes it's a beautiful fish, funny personality, I asked for it, and I'll be keeping him. I have to get him a bigger home ( and put an addition on the house possibly )I think a 120 will work.

That's awesome. And now you get to go get a 100+ gal? Hmmm, I wonder if I get a super large fish, if my wife will let me go get a huge tank... doubt it. Awesome fish btw... but kitchen table! Awesome!!!!
You have no idea how it grosses me out when someone says something like "my wife/husband wouldn't allow it". You're theoretically an adult.
Oh! and I once got a call from the local *****. They has been expecting a medium sized Naso in an order and wound up with a 7-8" fish. They were afraid for it in their sales tanks so they asked if I wanted it for $40...what they would normally ask for a medium sized Naso. Sometimes the mis-sized fish works to our advantage!

Sometimes you can hook up with a partner that really isn't into this stuff at all, like the "can't you put that in the basement" type. Then there are other types, like the " a 55 gallon tank is a good idea as the headboard for the bed in the MBR" ( that was great but NOT good fung shui, LMAO ). I guess everyone has their own idea of mature/adult behavior in the house. My situation is more different than ever, she comes home from work, tests all the tanks parameters, and starts insisting that I do a partial water change on this tank or that one...... ( my tanks ) BTW, HER tanks are HER tanks, and I don't mess with them AT ALL. She is new to this and has become a worse fanatic than I am.

I hate it when that happens. i ordered a picasso trigger last week, and they sent me one that is like 4 inches long. the biggest thing in my tank. i will have to put on instructions about no substitutions or special size limits.

DO IT, it was great to look up at that tank and space out watching the fish instead of counting sheep

Well, my wife is really cool about it all... just doesn't like the idea of a ton more $$$ going into a new tank. Once I finally get done with residency... then that's the first big purchase for sure!
And... I was getting in trouble for spending as much time with the tank as with my wife and 2 kids...
Anyway... hijacking your thread here! Did you end up going with the 125? Definitely keep us updated.
And do you have video capability? That would be a cool sight to see that thing in action!

Major dilemma here. Before the monster got here, the LFS guy gave me a great deal on a 75 , and I said I'd talk to him this week. So, I went in Saturday to get another 50 lbs of food for the trigger and the dogs, anyway, he wasn't there but I saw the 120, and there were 2- 220's drilled out , so now I'm up Shmits creek here, I'm waiting for a price on both of those tanks, but have a 75 coming in Wed. I hate when this happens
BTW, I do have video capability on my Canon Powershot, it took me an entire weekend to downsize the file for a video to my daughter a few months back ( you send it website ) anyway it's a good project now that you mention it ( the video ) it's a riot to see this fish eat full sized shrimp, and blow giant craters in the black sandbed.

When you ordered, did the fine print mention anything about "fishzilla" or "Seaworld"?

Beautiful nightmare! Love the way he looks. You need a 180 or 225 gallon and he can be the conversation piece.

That 75g will make an awsome Fuge for the 220!
