my 75 gallon is coming along nicely... its been running for about a year as an aggressive. (it used to be a reef)
i currently have the following fish...
1 spanish hog 3"
1 diana hog 3"
1 scorpionfish 5"
1 snowflake 10"
1 queen angel 3" (it was a present... my dad didnt know it got so big so in the future will be gone)
so anyways, i was wondering if i had room for a porky and a dwarf lion???
i have a wet/dry system and a protien skimmer ment for a 200+ tank. just want to make sure before i get them cause i dont want to kill any fishes :)

watch out for those hogs, they can be vicous. Better hope u like em alot. Wat kinda scorpion is it? Yea, angel will haveta go, and u can only get a dwarf lion AFTER it is gone. No porky though, too small. U will need a lil bit more rock too, and make like archways, and small caves with only one opening. Branch rock would work nicely. Eerything else sounds nice though. Maybe a smaller puffer since u already got small agressive fish, like a spotted hawaiian?

I have a pork puffer in my 75 gallon. I bought him the size of a quarter and within 2 short years he's grown a lot. Want to say he's a little bigger than a tennis ball - except not as round of course.
I knew upon purchasing this animal he would outgrow the 75 gallon tank. In a year or so I will be moving to a house a getting a 210 gallon tank. I would have one already but it was determined it would fall through my apartment floor. But... I have all the money for it in a seperate account and my plans are adamant.
If you can be cetain that you'll have a larger tank within the time constraints (2-4 years) then it can be done, otherwise... go with a smaller puffer. I'm not sure if a smaller toby etc would bother your lion and scorpion fish.
That's just my advice....

A lfs i went to in columbus ohio has on with 3 royal gramma ( that werent fighting ) It was the neatest one ive seen. It was like 95 pent. It wasnt a tall pent thow. I think they are neat fish for large pent. tanks.... This same lfs had a 2'' yellow tang for $70!!!! The funny thing was they aslo wanted $800 for a 10'' regal tang!!!!!!! How much did you pay for your queen?
