I finally broke down and watched it.
Your use of the F word is classy to say the least . Not that I expected anything else in the video .
Your fish are not as big as you say they are .
Your water tests look to be a bit out of exceptable levels too .
and I agree you might want to invest some time in cleaning your house .

You got a lot of nice fish in your tank. It looks crowded to me but hey, it's your tank, you can put whatever you want in it. I don't mind the decorations, they go with an agressive tank, in fact I think they look pretty good.

Yes yes you special kid you I am crash

Hey what can I say its your money spend it how you want and your lies tell them as big as you wish .
I guess high nitrates and nitrites as well as amonia is ok because your tanks over crowded ...... But then again that has been what we have been saying all along . I could make the point of your fish living in less the desireable conditions but that would be lost on your maid .

subject has gone way off topic and the amount of pure nonsense that has been allowed to carry on in this thread is shocking IMO. years gone past this would have never been allowed and should be closed. allowing thread to be hijacked like this is the type of things that causes new members to look for other forums. end thread!

The only fish I saw that was anywhere near 5 inchs was the grouper.
I also saw the pictures of the tests with poor water quality.
I also enjoyed the part on your video where you repedtely use the F word .
I also see where you have now changed your profile to say you have 14 years of hobby experience .
I see somebody that has been caught "lying" and using fake accounts to back up their opinions and arguments.
So no lies
just ignorance of how to keep healthy happy fish and a sad grown man that needs to be noticed . Keep up the good work slackjaw .

Ok Slack I am not here to argue with you anymore. All I am going to tell you is that your triggers will grow fast. My clown trigger was just removed from my system due to the fact that he grew from 3" to over 5" in less than 6 months. He also was fatter than my 9" tang. His attitude also grew a great deal. He was nipping at my 10" emperor angel and abusing my 9" blueface angel. These 2 fish are aguably the most aggressive fish without teeth at their size. You know there is an issue when a fish that is less than half the size of an uber aggressive dominant fish. The clown was so aggressive when I took him out he was trying to bite and charge the net as well as my hand. In fact, I have a nice little present from him on my index finger where he got a couple of good teeth marks and blood.
Your triggers may be playing nice now, but when you start to feed them the correct food and they grow at the correct rate, you will see their true colors. Yours are eating a ton, but the nutrition is not there. If you feed them your live feeders, but you do it with actual live saltwater fish and squid and clams your fish will grow at an alarming rate.
Your Dragon Wrasse was the fist, and now that one of your triggers has a taste for other saltwater fish it is a matter of time.
You put a queen in there and here is what your tank will look like soon.

What these guys are telling you is true. The Queen trigger shown above was mine for about six months. I rescued it from a tank that was way too small. I kept it in solitaire the entire time till I found her a bigger home. A guy from New York took her for his 1,000 gallon FOWLR tank with other aggressive fish. I forewarned the guy that the queen would decimate the others in the tank. He said he was prepared to devote a tank this large to a fish this large. Last I heard about her was that the queen didn't waste any time in making room for herself in that tank, shredded the others, and is now living alone in a 1,000gallon tank.

No, not necessarily. You should have seen the fish. Truly one of the most magnificent fish you'll ever see. Just a shame that it is so mean. That one was about 20".

is the fact that even though a given species may attain say 14” in the wild, this doesn’t necessarily mean that such a size is realistic in captivity, even when kept in the largest home aquaria. Others are just tremendously slow growers, and are not likely to reach anything close to adult size even after 6 or 7 years of captive life!!!!!!!!!!!! you got time
Thanks man. Thats how I see it as well. Its baout 2 inchs now and I dont see it gettin any bigger than 4 inches... so Ill keep it. And it gets along well with my coral bleeny, Green Clown goby, Sally Lightfoot, Lawnmower blenny, and 2 clownfish as well. And I have an oversized skimmer on my tank and waterchange every week. And its a full reef he likes it there for now at least

These guys can get to be a foot long; he won't be "happy" in a 30 gal very long; neither will any other living creature in the tank. IMO, a 30 isn't anywhere big enough for this fish, or any trigger; but I hope it works. Aggressive, growing fish + not enough room= disaster

Just curious, do you do any research before you buy the (argueably) most aggressive fish in the hobby which grows to a foot long, and stick him in a 30 gallon tank? Do you just buy fish because they are pretty?
nah but on a serious note. I dont have no dang trigger in my 30 gal. Im not new to the salt world. I actually forgot i made that jokin post in here. Guess you aggresive ppl dont venture to much outside of this thread and I dont come in here to much as well! But I was playing lol.. I dont want ppl thinkin im a bad reefer
