    Another point of caution for the six line.

    I just re-scaped my tank yet again so, I think I may just leave my stocking the way it is until everything settles back in. What about a firefish? That seems like an easy no brainer.

    i have a firefish and i love the little guy, very unique looking and i like how they catapult themselves around flicking their dorcel fin, mine glides front and center the entire time my lights are on riding the powerhead.

    and as far as the aquascaping.. wouldnt that be the best time to add a fish? so the new guy has a chance of making a home while the established fish are re-establishing at the same time. especially something like a firefish that creates a home to go to every night when the lights turn out (mine does anyway)

    That would normally be my thought too, but I stirred a lot of almost two year old sand. I want to be sure that doesn't have any ill affect first.

    Here's a picture of the one of my brains during feeding time.

    I caught my anemone part way through eating my female clown this morning. HOW RUDE!

    I guess she didn't pay rent.

    That's harsh!

    On my 75 gal setup, after my 6 line had been in the tank for a year, it started eating the shrimp... Given that experience, we're thinking that there'll be none in the 120 gal. system.

    I'm definitely leaning away from the six line at this point. I'm not sure what to do about live stock. Fish are really starting to get on my nerves.

    +1 Your tank looks incredible. I love the dramatic look to the lighting, the aquascaping, and the coral placement. All are top notch. Sorry to hear about your clown. Have you considered getting any type of small goby? The coral gobies are quite the characters and are really interesting fish to watch. I have a pair of the yellow ones and they are very social. They hop in and out of the corals and even interact with my clown.

    Thank you.

    I have been thinking about them. I wouldn't mind finding something that will hang out in my acros.
