    I just think there have got to be some seriously wealthy people in this hobby. I think I remember seeing a $9000+ angel on that page that was SOLD :eek:

    I've always topped out on $50 for a fish....

    I'm with you on that, I saw a regal angel 2 weeks ago and fell in love, the LFS wanted 300, got him down to 150, I told him I was willing to pay (arm up back) 120, he wouldn't budge, so I walked.

    Fish are only worth what we will willingly pay, I just think, if it dies, there isn't even a plate of fish and chips from it.

    Just tested the tank- zero ammonia. Should mean the dry rock has cycled. I will test again tomorrow but the switch should happen as soon as I get my lights (this week?)

    It is a dry heat, yeah right !
    Challenge the tank Tom. Put a normal amount or fish food in and test tomorrow and see if the tank can complete the nitrogen cycle in short order. The tank has to be able to handle those fish and their feedings so I would give it a good challenge, all it can do is enhance the biological filter.
    Just my unsolicited 2 cents. :)

    I can do both since the lights aren't even here yet. Cube it tonight and check for ammonia again tomorrow. By the way, my harlequin tusk LOVES nori
