It was good to meet you yesterday as well. The box fish does hold his own and doesn't get tossed around by the current, however there are a few spots in the tank he has to swim faster! He is also one of the best eaters in the tank and definitely has personality. I must admit I probably wouldn't have added him if I already had this tank set up, I combined my 2 old tanks into this one and he was in my FOWLR tank. I've had him for about 1 year and have owned 3 prior box fish which didn't make it. I haven't caught him nipping at anything yet, but we will see when he gets bigger!
I think most box fish can handle current once they are older, all the fish stores seem to have really small box fish so everyone wants to buy them. The only reason I tried him was because a fellow canreefer was selling him. When I first had him I did turn down the powerheads/flow so he would have a better chance to grow. So far so good.
