Everything is looking great! When's the next meet at your place?

It won't be for a little bit I have extra people living in my house from the floods. So I have no room. Your more than welcome to come check it out

Looks good man. Glad we were able to help ya out with those tangs and the Electric Urchin!

Totally jealous of the size of this tank. Must feel massive when stocking. Haha

I'll be back to get some more in a few more weeks

Looks good! That huge tank makes the naso look not so big.

So I got the Fish in and there was a point an hour after that I literally could not see any fish for five min I really thought they jumped out or something

[FinsUp]

Is that a sweetlips?

 

[Craigar]

Yeah it's a sweet lips I love that fish

 

[FinsUp]

Me too!! ...but I thought you couldn't put those in a reef tank because they're groupers that'd grow to like 2' long and eat everything smaller than them.

 

[Craigar]

They eat smaller crustations potentially so we will see. Here's what live aquaria says

A 500 gallon or larger aquarium is required due to its size and eating habits. It grows at a rapid pace to almost three feet in length. It needs a larger tank to provide it with ample swimming room and plenty of hiding places. If placed in a reef aquarium, the Spotted Sweetlips will eat smaller crustaceans, smaller fireworms, serpent stars, small snails, and polychaete worms.

 

[FinsUp]

Ah. Maybe it was the size and the 500 gallon tank requirement that scared me off...
Good luck with him. I love them, but I couldn't trust them to not snack on my smaller fish, and my cleaner shrimp is crucial to help my tangs stay healthy.

Don't mind me, I'm just drooling.
