I think I am going to try to get another hole drilled in the tank. If your in Vancouver and have a diamond hole saw for a 1" bulkhead and are willing to drill my tank, let me know!

Actually the other option and I don't know if I like this is to take down the FOWLR and set it up as a reef instead. I was debating this originally but didn't want to see my Puffers go. Now I am debating it again just because having two tanks in here is really taking up a lot of space and the maintenance is too much for me I think. The FOWLR looks horrible now because I am spending all my time on the reef.

Hard decision.

Well, how I had been discussing with you about myself setting up a FOWLR aggressive tank ... After starring at my reef tank, I questioned myself "Why the hell wouldn't I want a reef setup in a bigger tank??"

In small spaces, do you need 2 salt setups, 2 cats, and a terrarium? I guess thats a trick question.. of course you need it all! But you get the point

Actually the terrarium is with my brother now. But I get your point.

My fiance really, really wants just the big tank. She is too nice to admit it but I know she does. When I mentioned maybe just keeping the bigger tank as the reef and moving the big fish to a new home, she seemed happy

I am not sure yet though. I need to find good homes first. That is the most important part.

The nice thing would be that the big tank is already plumbed nicely. I would change a few things but most would stay the same. Plus I could probably keep my Niger Trigger as he is reef safe. I just don't know if I would or not.
