For someone with a lot of money in her tank, I think it be a wise investment for you. Frankly, it'd be a lot cheaper to buy it now than to have all your fish and coral die one day, have to replace all of that, and THEN still have to buy the generator. I think you should spring for it.

Apparently Petco (the one in Howell) had a power outage too. Thought we had a generator. I guess not. Most of our fish dead, apparently. ::) >:( :(

If you can't find a Scribbled for less than $823423847423, check out the Annularis angels. Almost as nice, IMO. Used to have one. I killed it unfortunately, but he was hardy... ate like a pig... and gorgeous.

Well, it's definitely pushing it but it can be done and would likely end up fine. I'd go with that. Order those angels fast though from NYAquatic if you want them (they are in Brooklyn and he'll let you pick up from him I believe) as they tend to sell their high end angels pretty fast. Just...

One thing to remember: Absolutely, positively do not... DO NOT buy one that is not eating in front of you. No matter what color chest it has. If the place won't feed it, simply walk out. If it won't pick at food yet they assure you it eats, don't buy it unless you see it eat... and more than a...

If you're going to go with Swallowtails, check out this pair that NYAquatic got in: http://www.nyaquatic.com/servlet/the-580/Masked-Swallowtail-Angel-dsh-PAIR/Detail Amazing price, too. Those are pretty rare.

Extremely hard to keep as juveniles. One of the reasons that the juvies are so cheap.

I think that if you go with either of those final stocking lists plus any random midsized Acanthurus tang, you'd be fine. Be aware that Powder Blues get very aggressive sometimes, though, and it might be all out warfare with your purple (which also gets seriously aggressive).

Sold him off! :(

5 large angelfish are 3 large angelfish too much for this tank, IMHO. Stated that via our PMs. Frankly, if you want the two Swallowtail's, I'd say to decide on ONE of either a Personifier or a Scribbled and stick with a grand total of 3. Would still be overstoked, IMHO, but much more do-able...

My little juvie was 100% reef safe.

Hahahahahaha, whaaaat? That's crazy. Were you there like right before close???

The fish should probably be fine. The big problem will be if any undissolved Kalk sat on corals for any length of time. Frankly, if that happens, it's a bad sign, IMO. Tends to burn them.

Actually, if you can find a healthy Thalassoma lucasanum wrasse, AKA the Cortez Rainbow, that is a supermale, go with that. Not much more beautiful fish out there than them, if you ask me.

Why not a really fast paced fish like a banana wrasse? One of the thalassoma wrasses would make a nice addition. Some real beauties.

Do you guys ever get in any really nice zoos? I always see the average green ones there. I might just not look in the right place.

Re: AGA 120 (very few pictures and lots of dull writing) Good books to read (outside of what you have listed): Baensch Marine Atlas (Volumes 1, 2 &3) by Helmut Debelius The Book of Coral Propagation by Anthony Calfo The Reef Aquarium (Volumes 1, 2 &3) by Julian Sprung Reef Invertebrates by...

Re: AGA 120 (very few pictures and lots of dull writing) I'm stoked to see Phil getting his tank set up soon. I never met you, but you seem like a great guy and I hope all goes well. Can't wait to see it fully running.

I absolutely love... LOVE... my CADlights system. Eddie was a freaking pleasantry to deal with. GREAT guy. I picked it up in Brooklyn and it was a breeze. Go with the CAD tank. Get the Pro model if you can afford it. I regret not getting it over the Signiture one, and everyone else usually...

Also, the fish has to be MUCH bigger than the angler. I've seen anglers eat fish almost twice their size.
