    Currently thanks to my gf I have 1 fish left ..... ( fire fish). She decided to windex the outside of my tank when I was gone away on a business trip. >.<

    Anyways i stripped down the whole tank cycled water through it 3 times and now I have that mess cleaned up. But I am looking at a new variety of fish. I have a 120 gallon tank and about 150lbs of live rock with 3 inches of sand it the bottom.

    I was wondering if purple firefish would get along with the firefish i have? and another other suggestions of fish would be great.

    I would think that with 120 gallons of water to spread out in, the two will probably "get along". As you know, however, there are no guarantees in the fishy world :)

    With that size tank, you can pretty much add any reef safe fish that you like. Any particular fish that you're interested in? What did you have in the tank before the Windex debaucle?

    Oh and I forgot I am open to any type of fish. I am not sure what type of colours and fish I want in this one yet.

    I'm sure your ex-girlfriend (LOL) is very upset with her self

    I would start thinking of the big fish first and then the smaller ones. Is there any type of fish you've always wanted. with a 120 you could support almost anything

    lol well I am running a new reef tank now. Killed my corals too.... I only have some mushrooms to restart the cycle until my tank matures again. And I am leaning towards a community tank. Rather then a aggressive tank
