well, my tang disappeared the other day. no sign of it anywhere. thats the thing about SW tanks, something dies and then it just disappears! no leftovers, no sign of death, nothing!

good deal, i was worried. should i medicate him with anything?

my picasso has something up with his trigger. its there, but looks like a bony stump. i dont know if he is sick or if someone got sick of him and started chewing on it. hes eating, acting, and swimming just fine, still the most active fish in the tank. all my inverts are fine, water params are...

Re: 125 reef build...NOT The New Yankee Worksop Wow! Thats all i can say!!!

what can fit in a lions mouth WILL eventually end up there!

Ryans arch nemises!!!

pretty much, that along with good flow and an extra filter to filter out all the junk in the water column! i dont have any cuc in my FOWLR predator tank, i tried but they didnt even make it to the bottom. i have some large hermits, but thats it.

emerald crab blue leg hermits margarita snails astrea snails turbo snails plan to add a variety of crab and shrimp all good food for the lion! that is why it isnt a good idea! any small reef fish also make good appetizers as well. you can feed all you want, but that lion isnt going to turn...

what size of tank?

no no no no! it will eat everything it comes into contact with! if its smaller, its food! if its bigger, its a challenge the lion wont back down from! i have one in a FOWLR PREDATOR tank, i couldnt imagine seeing one in a reef!

its a buddy of mine, i told him to get an octopus 150, but hes trying to save a buck or two. i got a cheap-o seaclone, but i am goin to buy an octopus soon. i was just trying to prove a point to my buddy! what better of a place to do it than here!

or you could just get a predator that adores shrimp! but then again, your snails, crabs, and all other inverts would be at risk for sure! okay, bad suggestion....

Correction!!! Red coris wrasse, not formosa coris. Stupid me! juveniles look so much alike its ridiculous. they are listed on the order sheet as red wrasse, however, there are two almost identical fish!
