Re: Melonbobs predator build!!!

nice eel!! i would vote for a red coris wrasse.... but i think an adult would be a little large for the tank. juv would be awesome though. you would just need a plan for the future since they require a min of 75 gal

Re: Melonbobs predator build!!!

how many fish can I do when we are talking these sizes in a 50g? I figured I'd be overdoing it with the clown, eel and a radiata lionfish?

The rule is one inch per five gallons. But rules are made to be broken.

You need to name them!

I think you should name the clowns after my dogs, Bixler and Petunia. Those are cute names.

Re: Melonbobs predator build!!!

sweet eel! Love the pics. Your radiata will look great in there as well. Just a thought, big livestock like sharks and eels don't get measured from nose to tail for bioload measurement. Go with tip of nose to butt. I would count a 12 in eel as 7 inches or so. You can add your lionfish in a few weeks. Good luck keep the pics coming!!!

Re: Melonbobs predator build!!!

OK, I picked up some background finally, it really makes a difference hiding the skimmer and all. It also helps with pics, so here are a few better ones finally!




Anyone know what this is? It hitchhiked with some other coral I bought
