    He should use dursos but he never listens to me. With my knee in bad shape im in no position to beat him into submission like I normally do. The silicone looks pretty good bud!

    This guy doesn't know what a Durso is (I know, but too tired to google tonight).

    It was wet, or partially. I noticed a leak in between the main tank and the overflow so I let the water drain into the sump and then re- sealed it. The ro/di goes on for 3 days straight tomorrow to fill it!

    Harlequin Tusk
    Cuban hogfish
    2 spot butterflyfish
    Goldrim tang
    Queen angelfish
    Bannana wrasse
    Miniatus grouper
    Picasso triggerfish

    I think the tank can probably hold more but I think these are a good place to start!

    Maybe think about switching that queen for a clarion, and then the bananna for a quoyi or princess parrot so your house doesn't start on fire?

    Ok, so I have a bead of a couple quality fish from Ibluewater; Bellus (S/M) , Passer (L) Maculosus (S/M). All three are angelfish and I am excited about the color variations. Here is my question, I have the 250 up and fully functional but still pretty green. Should I start them out in the 100 gallon (60 inch) and then transfer over? I only have 1 piece of live and 75 lbs of dry (cycling 2 weeks so far). Or should I just move the 150 plus lbs of live rock from the 100 to the 250 and get it on!

    P.S. there is some livestock in the 100 still- most of it bound for the 250
