Dirty, dirty fish. Poop, poop, poop, that is all they do!
I will do FOWLR, or coral only tanks with sand bed critters. I use a rotating Copper Band Butterfly and I have within the last couple of years kept Gobies with coral.
My preference is all SPS Mother coloy display tanks, and I can not see having that amount of time and money jeopardized for fish.
I in do like predator fish, and favor lion fish, eels and Clown Trigger fish. These are definately not coral tank fish. They all eat to much and therefore poop to much, and a clown will often eat every thing it can.

wow fatman, that would be some tank.

For me tho, its all about fish and the activities & entertainment they provide in the tank. Without the fish i think it would be hella boring.

With a system that large I think I would add a few fish. That is a secret though, do not tell anyone, as that could blemish my sterling reputation. I find coral spell binding, in genearl I find fish as stupid and seldom entertainling. I do like their flashes of moving color. For entertainment I like Coral Banded Shrimp and feeding predator fish, but predators make lousy tank companions for coral (too dirty).

then why dont you say your dream tank consists of two large DT's one being coral and the other being a predator tank and they are all somehow running on the same system to justify it being a dream tank instead of two dream tanks

I would say Corals are my dreams and marine fish are an idle fascination. Unfortunately, I have too little idle time.

Hey that guy could have been my brother or some thing, except for those Tangs in the mother colony tank. Him I have got to try to contact. Hell, he even looks a lot like me. But I wear black rimmed glasses and no hats. Since profession, same fasination for SPS fragging. Hell, my Dad said he was in Korea not Portugal!

If you read through the thread he sais if you show up and bring him some beer he would give you a bunch of frags. Some people had done it to.
