... and she's mad at me lol

Minimum tank size for a Humu humu? try 150 gallons, and that BARE minimum.

 

Well that's way to big for this house.lol wonder how mad she's gonna be when i take back god lol.

 

For future reference, LiveAquaria is a decent resource to do some basic research on fish. Make sure you show this to your wife so she can do her own research as well. Here is some info on the Trigger in question:

Saltwater Aquarium Fish for Marine Aquariums: Humu Picasso Triggerfish

 

FWIW, a hex would be OK for SH, but a std. 29 is a better footprint for a single pair of "std. size" species SH (erectus, reidi, barbouri, kuda). Contrary to popular belief, SH swim very well, and will use all of the lateral space you give them. The "tall tank" thing really only comes into play if you plan on breeding them. This allows inexperienced pairs more room to complete their coital "spins" and make a successful egg transfer.

SH are indeed "special needs" fishes, but if those needs are met, they aren't tuff to keep if you get good CB stock from a reputable breeder.

Just a quick SH blurb to get her thinking.

 

Thanks for the sh info. do you think the bow front would be a better choice (36 gallon)

 

As I was reading through, I thought Greg or Rayjay were to "go to" people in terms of seahorses. By the time I got further in, there was one of them!
