    Well I should not have two sailfin Tangs either. The previous owner bought them. They chase each other all day, but it does not get violent.

    As for the Maroon... It's war. I can't stand him. He knows I'm after him. He is digging more and taking it out on the other tank citizens. I am armed with all the latest web knowledge. I shall be victorious.

    I like the idea of a picasso clown (after the maroon is removed). The Flame is also an OK idea since your tank is so big. I just got one two days ago. He's a beauty, but hides in the back right now.

    Anybody have any experience with Blue Chin Triggers?

    I'm commencing night ops at O' two hundred.

    Operation "Night Owl" did not produce the desired response. No choice left but to go full scale with operation "Red Sea". I have no doubt this will deliver the terrorist to justice.

    So I have been looking into Anthias. I will have to check some out locally.

    So.. How many would be good to have, considering my current load. The Maroon will be gone soon. The Trigger is out. There is no way I'm feeding 3 times a day. I feed 2 twice a day and plankton. I have a very good pod population.

    I do want a Royal Gramma. I was thinking a pair of Anthias, maybe three. Not sure.

    If you're talking about a Niger trigger, I've had a few in my time; but never in my reef tank. They're considered to be the one trigger that could be reef safe if any are. Personally I wouldn't risk it, but that's just me.

    The ones I've had were not aggressive, but they're hungry fish. I think they're beautiful too. I've always loved Niger triggers.

    Ya, supposedly, Blue Chins are reef safe. I take that with a grain of salt. Also the re are other reasons. So Ya, Blue Chin is out for me. And ya, I do like Triggers. Nice fish.
