I'm making the switch....

HouseDJSTL · 05/13/2006, 01:25 PM

Well after doing everything possible, I'm switching to a "Reef" tank. I've done water changes every weekend, tried the "Algone" stuff, put on a Phosban Reactor and with no luck, Algae will not go away......so in about 2 to 3 weeks I'm getting rid of the Humu Trigger and going w/ reef fish. For now, I'm gonna be going with a Flame Ange, Yellow Tang, Lawnmower Blenny, Clownfish, Cleaner Shrimp, Peppermint Shrimp, Snails, and Crabs....

Look Good???

Looks good. I'd get rid of the Trigger (I imagine you have to feed him a lot...) and then wait for your levels to drop to average/normal before making the move.

Looks like a nice fish list.

I love my Trigger, but I can't afford the big water changes every single weeknend.....

Yeah, the big aggressive fish (Triggers, Lionfish, etc) are so beautiful. But they just make the water quality go down the hole.

You could always set up another tank and have a FOWLR.
