    Thanks for the comments Steve,

    My wife is in love with the Triggerfish we have. Although I started with a 55G I have already planned and explained to the wife that I will be upgrading to somewhere in the 100+ Gallon tank next and use the 55G for Reef only. I will place my Aggresives in the 100+ tank. We are planning a move here in about 2 weeks so that is priority and hope everyone survives the short move.

    Also knowing that my tank is on its 3rd month is really exciting being able to support 4 fish!!

    Yes I am looking for atleast 125G... We are moving 15 miles down the highway.

    I plan on adding atleat a Volital Lionfish, Scorpionfish, Yellow Frogfish and a Puffer to the 100+ just cause they are all bad-ass!!

    I will use the 55G for Corals and anenome's mostly for the beauty and display of color.

    I bought a weedy scorpionfish at my LFS for $150. After I got him home and read up on it I then realized how rare they are and how much normal people would charge for him. After he died 3 days later I then realzied why he was sold so cheap. He must have been on the way out or sick. Although the LFS said they've had him for atleast 2 or 3 months...
