OK I guess I'm not good at documenting progress like I see some people do.
tank is up and running with a niger trigger and blueface angel. both doing great.I will get some pics up soon (I hope) was using Picasso 2 but having problems may have to switch engine. what do most people use now to post...
I added a small niger trigger to the tank last week. he is doing great.
added 2 1/2" blueface yesterday picked him up at aquatic obsessions. beautiful fish and he is out and eating well.
yea. the lfs talked me into a wet/dry when I started. still using it but not for long. the only decent thing is the pad on the top. if you change or clean it every couple days it takes tons of debris out of the tank. do you also have the skimmer that comes with it? also crap. I built my own sump...

1-threadfin butterfly
1 harlequin tuskfish
1 or 2 niger triggerfish
1 chevron tang or purple tang
anyway neither of those worked. I had quite a few of them and put a 6 line in there and have not seen one in a long time. lots in my fuge though. they say coral banded shrimp or arrow crab work well also. are you sure its a bad bristle worm? most are not dangerous to inhabitants although I've...
