Re: Melonbobs predator build!!!

There will be corals in it for sure, but I'm not sure how much. Right now I have a huge leather mounted in a clamshell that I am going to put in the back right corner. Haven't put alot of thought into that though. I have no idea what I can do with a lionfish!

The lionfish won't bother any corals. They are coral-safe.

Yeah, the pumps are questionable, they had some bad batches and one wasn't starting at first. I emailed them though and they sent out a pair no questions asked! Other than the pumps, the quality looks great, and it was pulling crap out before I even added anything

be careful with the maroons because of the scales sticking off of their face, they can easily get caught in a net
