Great job on the aquascape guys, it usually takes me a day to redo aquascape in my tanks, you should come help out with the cube, I bet we can finish it in 1 hr or less.
I will also try to talk Mandi into letting me get a trigger, she thinks they are weird looking fish lol.


Haha, if Billy could have he would have taken a lot longer but I gave him a time limit of three hours and we got it done, thankfully!! : )

Our new pets have been in the acclimation box since last night and they're doing amazing. Might even let em free tonight. Probably the worst quality picture I've posted on here sorry.

Let us know if you have any inverts with the trigger fish and how long peace is maintained.  I want a pink tail but the clean up crew is non-negotiable and I hear that triggers are fond of shrimp, snails, other shelled animals.  CURIOUS.  

Looks great!  
Everything should be made as simple as possible, but not simpler -A.E.
57 Gallon RImless build in progress check the thread before if becomes boring and just full of nice pictures of colorful coral!

We have plenty of snails and hermit crabs in our tank and bluejaw trigger pays no attention to them. That being said, every fish is different. I'm so infatuated with this trigger that I wouldn't even care if he munched on my CUC. I have heard of people having success with the pinktail triggers and more so with niger triggers. Just make sure you're rock is secure. My trigger has dug himself a burrow underneath a large rock that he sleeps in with his head poking out.

Generally the dominate female will turn into a male. The males are a beautiful hue of red. I've got four of these beauties in our quarantine tank. Awesome pictures Billy.

I do too they're super bright and yes one will become male like Dave said. I got mine from aquatic dreams. Heres what the male will look like... http://www.liveaquaria.com/product/prod_display.cfm?c=15+20+1512&pcatid=1512

They require very heavy feeding and often so just be aware if you decide to look into it more.

Yours are going to look awesome in your humongous tank. How long are you quarantining them?

Probably 7-10 days. I've got two Bartlett Anthias (to add to the one we've already got) coming from LA Wednesday and I want to introduce all to the display tank at the same time.

I Loooove Bartlett anthias too. If I had a bigger thank I'd get a mini-school of those myself.
