Reef's 210g. Journal

[reeffreak]

Clown triggers are super cool but they grow really,really big.I had to google Blue Jaw Trigger,wowee!,awesome looking trigger.A Picasso or Blue Jaw,lionfish and eel-sounds like a good plan to me.I'm excited,210,what 210!

[fishbait]

jeez reef, a 75 gallon is 48" long! shurly he won't get that long.
oh, you probaly like you're fish to swim too huh?

[reeffreak]

Those clown triggers grow to over a foot and a half Fish.The others stay well under a foot so I'll stick to those.I wonder how fast a clown grows?I forgot how cheap triggers are.Man,I'm going to get one.

I was also thinking about a combination of butterflyfish for your tank. An addonis Butterfly or a racoon would look neat with a bluejaw trigger (I have had one and they are really cool - that would be my vote), a radiata lionfish and the eel. I am posting a new thread in the reef photo section of my work eel today - look for it and see if you like the white-eyed moray. They get about 20" is all. Great eels. They are out all the time too, they tend not to hide.

I'll check the thread out.

I almost forgot about butterfly fishes.Don't you think a trigger,butterfly,lionfish and eel will be too much?I was thinking of skipping the lion and going with the Angel you mentioned earlier.

[Doc]

ah, in that case, skip the lion and go with the eel (count as 10 inches) , Blue Ring (8inches), Blue Jaw (7inches), and a bitterfly (6 inches). that give you about 30 inches, and that will be pushing it, but managable. Remember, that is full grown and that takes YEARS. I say go for it.

Ooooh! Frogfish! Frogfish!

My LFS has a breeding pair called Kermit and Miss Piggy.

[reeffreak]

A bitterfly,huh?
The list you made sounds good.Thats what I'll do whenever I get the 210 up and running again.I'm glad I didn't sell the sump and skimmer for the 75.

[reeffreak]

A frogfish,is that like an Angler?
I think they would bore me to death after a while.I mean they don't swim or anything or do they.In my head,all I see is it sitting there waiting for a meal to come close to its lure.

Your right on the money Reef.
The frogfish I've seen at Bermuda are a royal pain in the ass to feed.Most wont touch anything thats not alive.
