Well my fraternity at school has given me the go ahead to hook up there 100g tank up as a marine tank. Basicly they are giving me a free range on whatever I want. They want a lionfish but Im not going to get them one. Too much of a risk in my opinion w/ drunk people. They want a more aggressive tank so I was thinking maybe a Picasso trigger or huma huma trigger whichever name you like. And then maybe a large anthias. A yellow tang. Maybe a porcupine puffer. Obviously not a large load. But they are all fairly active interesting fish in my opinion. The tank is almost done cycling in my opinion. Been kicking for about 3 weeks. Did a h20 change this week and still no sites of ammonia. Sand bed is gettin fairly well loaded w/ worms and pods. We have a skimmer on the tank. 3 powerheads and two fairly large biowheels, not sure of their size but they both have two wheels on them. We had them laying around and I thought it could use a little extra current in my opinion. I dont plan on adding all those guys at once obviously. Slowly add them and make sure everything is settled in and ok to go. What do you think of that list of fish/the size of the load for now? all opinions welcomed. and ps i was planning on getting them all at a fairly small size. thanks for any comments.

sounds decent.. just may have to do water changes more often.. but it sounds like a good tank...

I would go with a clown triger , a panther grouper is also a nice addition

You cant go wrong with a clown triger, not only are they cool looking but when one of your drunk buddy's puts their hand in, they will get a nice scare. LOL.

[fishguy_8]

Lawdog indeed quite the ride it was. Give me a email sometime id like to see how your inspiration week went compared to ours. I started adding fish this week. We're sitting at as of now....yellow tang, cin.clown, lyretail anthias male, picasso trigger (the clown was a bit much for the budget im working w/), and a yellow fin damsel. I started w/ the damsel as a test subject before I added any of the more expensive fish. All is well so far. I have about 50-60lbs of fiji and about 10lbs of carib. live rock. Im giving consideration to skipping the puffer and looking into a foxface. what are your thoughts on this.
thanks guys.

ps craig, phi alpha ......still in for another year

[fishguy_8]

Well I got the tank pretty much complete. I added some more lr and made some more caves and what not. Here is what we got/had.....1 picasso trigger (deceased cause unknown.), 1 cin clown, 1 foxface, 1 half and half angel, 1 volitan lion (i put a locking mechanism on the hood for security), 1 pearlscale butterfly, and the centerpiece as far as im concerned 1 juvenile Koran Angel. The koran has been in the tank for a week now and is doing quite well. Im feeding 3 kinds of frozen foods, which ill be soon getting another kind specificly targeting the angels and butterfly, im feeding a flake and Im also feeding Nori. The koran angel is quite the hog he eats everything I put in the water. Id say he's 4in long by 3in tall and a 1/4in thick. He's w/o a doubt my favorite fish as well as just about everyone elses. Hows the tank sound to you guys? Its odd this tank is the cleanest tank Ive ever had......its been up and running for almost 7weeks and I have had to clean the glass 1 time. Im not complaining but all my other tanks are on the daily schedule.

sounds good,

I realy like triggers fish, but I'm not sure about a yellow tang with thoses aggresive fish.

If I'm wrong about yellow tang and triggers please correct me, because I realy would like to have one clown trigger and I did not get it, because a lot of people told me is not good to live with my yellow tang.
