What does everyone think about putting a Niger trigger in with my male/female bluechins?

I'm moving to Cle Elum WA. This will be the fourth time I have moved my tank in the last 6 month, except this time is not just around town. A little history about Cle Elum, It is a small @$$ crappy little town in central Washington about an hour and a half east of Seattle! Its located just below...

So both of my MJ1200's keep falling off the glass. I clean the cups and the glass behind them all the time. I cant use the hanging clips because I have glass tops. Any Ideas? I thought about superglueing them, but that would make cleaning them a pain.

I have Coraline growing on my pumps and rocks. It is now growing on my front and side glass but not the rear glass. The back of my tank is painted blue with a coat of black sprayed on over the blue so no light could get through...... My question is since no light can get behind the coralline and...

As most of you know I recently bought a male/female pair of blue chin triggers. They are known to be kinda like hippo tangs and lay on the sand bed and in rocks. Well the female was fine last night and all of the sudden she has spent all day in the back cornor of the tank lying on the ground...

I bought a male/female pair of fish for my tank. Can anyone guess what they are? Redline you cant guess because you already know? I will give you some hints. They are not usually considered reef safe. My 75 gallon is the perfect size for them. The male has yellow tiped fins and the females...

I own a rock with some white ricordea mushrooms on it. I have placed them all over my tank high, med and low light and they just wont come out. There on the bottom now, I just moved them from the top of my tank and I thinking about putting them in a shaded area now. Has any one else had this...

So I came across an AGA 75 gallon w/ stand for $125. I'm moving this weekend so I'm going to tear down my 24 JBJ cube and my 55 reef and transfer everything into the new 75 gallon. I know its not much of an upgrade but this stand has the ability for a sump/refugium ( my 55 does not have room)...

I turned on the lights to my 24nano on tonight and there are hundrewds of these little snails everywhere. I tried to ID them off the ID site but I cant say for sure which one they are. Has anyone had this problem? Are they good or bad? Any info would be appreciated.

On one of my rocks in my 24 nano this algae keeps popping up. Bubbles form on the rock and then get covered by this purple/green/red slime. I vacuum it off and its back the next day.

Any tips on how to get a clam to release its foot from a rock? I want to move it to a higher light area......

Does anybody here have experience with keyhole angles in a reef tank? If so what precautions and advise would you give? My LFS has one and its beautiful. I think it would be a great addition to my reef as long as it doesn't munch on my corals...
