FWIW, my suggestion for the 6500K lighting was for a different tank, like a frag growout tank. You would not want to use that lighting over your main display as you have it now. The worst case scenario would be that the fish would have to be removed from this display and moved into that one.

Does naesco actually own a tank or does he just tell people what fish they should not keep. Don't want to start a war just wondering as I would like to see some of his tanks if he has any.

Some stats on what we are all part of just to put this file fish in perspective.
This hobby is not environmentally friendly but if it was not for us there would not be the captive breeding and aquaculture that we have today and hopefully at some point we will be able to sustain this industry.

FWIW I think it's a beautiful fish and a LUCKY one at that, most don't go into the proper setup and starve, sphelps' can actually feed it

I love my corals but I don't kid myself that they have much feeling - or I wouldn't be able to live with myself when I cut them up and glue them to rocks!! If it came to choosing between the fish and the coral I'd sacrifice the coral.

So would I...I am more of a fish person than a coral person though. Corals are just there to decorate the fishes home. No different than putting a painting on the wall


But I don't eat my paintings.

Edit: I feel the need to add that I look at my tank to look at the corals more often than the fish, watching them grow makes me happy, but I cater to the welfare of the fish first and foremost because they actually have feelings - make sense?
