![]() im a huge fan of our twinspot hogfish. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=61ieeD-eDwM
hes super active and curious, eats like a horse without any fuss, and got along with everything in the tank (although i hear they might go after smaller shrimp or crabs like pom poms). i wouldnt say hes a centrepiece fish but defin rounds out the tank. |

![]() sorry to hear about your loss. i like triggers, they are a fish of great personalities. some are fairly reef safe. i had a picasso and now have a trigger.

![]() A 46g is a bit small for triggers. However pygmy angels are a good choice. The flame angel and coral beauty are two of my favorites.

![]() If I had a 46 bowfront, I would set it up with 4 grammas and let them run it.
I have 3 in my 72 bow and I wish I had added a couple more females when the tank was new... So fun to watch my big male tend to his little harem of 2 girls... |

![]() I had a coral beauty it was my last fish to die,tried to save but was too late.got 5 weeks to let tank run empty too make sure the ich is gone,I think that last time i was overstocked and my tank could'nt handle the bioload,so this time I want to do it right,just want to thank everyone for the ideas,keep'em com'in.

![]() I have heard of people waiting 6 weeks and still having ich when they restocked.
Be really careful, we'd all hate to see another crash.... |

![]() How long do you think I should wait.

![]() As I understand it, there is no real way of knowing for sure that Ich is gone from your system.
You may very well be fine in six weeks, but to be safe, more time would offer more security. If everyone says 6, maybe 8 weeks would do it? maybe 7? No way to know for sure and Better safe than sorry, but hey, 2 extra weeks can also be a long time to wait for something that may be already a non issue. just thought I'd just mention that waiting 6 weeks is no guarantee, just an estimate. |

![]() May want to consider buying or borrowing a uv light and run it 24/7 for a few weeks. Would help with eradicating.... a 24 watt would be plenty for a tank that size, and can be had for in the $80 dollar range.
I run one now and have had no further issues with ick... Just a thought. TJ
