Flame Hawk vs. Royal Gramma

[Samper]

I'm sad to say that my gramma buddy who has been with me the longest was challenged to a duel today by the menacing one known as my flame hawk. The gramma not wanting to be laughed at by his peers accepted the challenge. He was a KO in the 14th round........happened while I was at work.

RIP royal one

darn sorry for ur loss..

[Samper]

It was my fault....or should I say I was given some bad advice on the hawks.

[Wind]

which hawk was it? the longnose or the red one?

i have a gamma, they are cool when the open their mouths to stretch or whatever hehe..

get a new one, sometimes we are innocent in the deaths of our animals.. im sure u loved and cared for it so much that some bad advice and negligence of those influencing us caused an unwanted accident to happen..

i remember when my 1st clown died when i was on a trip. since i started teh hobby the clown of 3 years has been through thick and thin, from a noobs tank, to being netted out by my younger bro and burning on the glass tank under the MH, etc... but it died for unapparent reasons when was away ..

[Samper]

He was just a normal flame, not longnose. I've decided to upgrade my tank to atleast a 55 so I guess I'll be holding onto him. Will just get fish that will be compatible from now on.

Hey Samper,

I suggest your look into a 75 gallon tank, the tanks are the same sizes except the 75 has 6" more width to it; the added width really makes a difference.

[Samper]

It would be nice to have that extra space for aquascaping. I'll look into that Reefland. Thanks for the input.

[Reefland]

That's the key, the extra width for the aquascaping. The extra depth really is worth the few extra dollars.

I'll be buying a house hopefully in the next six months. I am going to continue to learn via my smaller tank until then. Is it correct that it is best to learn about aquariums on a smaller tank since it is harder to maintain water parameters?

[Reefland]

It's easier to get used to the maintenance routine, that's for sure. My opinion is small tank, large tank; it really makes no difference. Both require lots of hard work and lots of money; the advantage to a large tank is you have more stocking possibilities.

Sweet 75 gallon and 200 lbs LR and 6 nurse sharks it is.........................
