Is that an emperor snapper?

mule31 · 02/09/2010, 03:34 PM

Tank looks good. Any problem with the triggers and the lionfish? I would expect the triggers to pick at the lionfish's spines.

Great looking tank!

yes that is an emperor snapper!
and yes my triggers and lions get along just fine!
my niger is pretty new but shows no interest in either lion. my clown has been with the big lion since they were wee lil guys and in a year i have yet to see any confrontations.
i really wish i knew how to work a damn camera the pictures do no justice what so ever!

i just spent a but load of money on that lobo brain and the guy i got it from got me paranoid now.

he came from a tank running t5's. im running 3 400 watt metal halides. he suggested to me to pretty much hide the brain for a few days so it gets adjusted to the light. i have it sitting about 6-7" off the sand and its where i would like it to be. for the next few days i will have the center light (the one thats above it) off for it to adjust.

will the spot i have it in be ok? im so worried its getting too much light now.
bottom of the sandbed isnt an option, i have a sting ray comming next week
