My 120 Gallon Tale

Phil, usually any pictures I take at A.O. I upload to Will's Computer in the store and then I take my camera home empty. I'm sure he has tons of pics though because my camera has been there for about a week now.

Thanks ... it's comments like that that keep me from breaking it down and getting rid of everything when I get frustrated ... even though I just got that tank set up this year, it still crosses my mind once a week.

Mine's only about 3-4" ... He already bites. I have to be carefull when I place coral. He'll follow my hand and when I least expect it he charges and nibbles. It's kinda funny.

Hmm..looked like a sargassum to me. I know cross-hatch triggers are planktivores, but sargassum's I thought are hit&miss when it comes to harming inverts.

It's a sargassum ... I have 2 sexy shrimp, tons of snails and hermits, cleaner shrimp, peppermint shrimp and seastars and whatnot and he hasn't even looked toward thier direction. Hopefull that won't change.

He eats seaweed from my hand and even lets me push him out of the way without darting off. He's a pretty cool fish.

The one thing I don't like about him is that he sits on one side of the tank and doesn't move unless I feed the tank on the other side.

There should be a sign that says "no minimum purchase required...just a lot of hard work/patience and dedication!"

Thanks for sharing as always...hey given all the great stuff from AO - you should complain to them about not getting a black nudi... ;D

just kidding!

Mike, your display is beautiful. Hopefully I will have a 120 by the end of this weekend. What type of lighting do you have over it? I currently have T5's but don't think they will do well on a 120 tank.

I have a Current OuterOrbit Pro 2 250w MHs w/ 4 54w T5s. I think 8 T5's across the top would be ok. I like my MHs though.
