Contemplating going to a FO system..

Well Since Iam soo pissed at my algae in my main 90 gallon reef iam contemplating turning it into a fish only.. Heres what I was thinking for it..Snowflake moray eel, my yellow tang thats already in there, and maybe a black volitan lion..Any problems with this ??The tank is a 90 with a 25gallon sump, euroreef g2x skimmer and a mag1200 return pump.. Anything I shoudl know about these guys.. Iam not sure If Iam gonna do this or not yet..My 25gallon reef in my bedroom is doing 20x better than the 90 in the living room Plus I am really never home to enjoy the coral and such anyways..I look at my tank maybe on average 20 minutes a week..I have some damsels and chromis in the tank already I figured I'd just leave them in there for food.. Now Iam still contemplating whether if I do do this I'll get the lion or a small Niger Trigger(I guess if I do the yellow tang will probably have to go) Or maybe a small clown trigger...I know these fish all get big..iam plannign on gettign them all as babies or no bigger than 3-4" anyways..the eel will be baby when I get him If I do get him..Plus I can save money now since I won't be running the halides..Dan

clown trigger

Bamm Bamm,

If you decide on the clown trigger, I've heard that the babies aren't that hardy. You'd probably be better off with a 3-4 incher. I haven't kept one myself so maybe someone else can confirm this.

Thanks for the heads up Penguin...That does sound like a better idea getting a little bit bigger one..
