I had a pair of cin clowns and they got really aggressive had to move them out.

How about a Coral Beauty or a Blonde Naso.

ive always owned a pair of cinnamon clowns and they def are aggressive my female killed the male after a year together i introduced another male and it took a few weeks to warm up to each other, now i only have the male but hes always attacking me my female was around 4" i love the cinnamon clowns as ugly as they get and as mean as they are to their handlers ive always found them to be great clowns to own



the blonde naso for me would be too many tangs my yellow is quite aggressive and if i get a juvie sailfin it will become large quite fast so those will be the only two large fish in my reef. the coral beauty is nice but too common for me def a nice fish though.

how about wrasses anything you guys would recommend that will be reefsafe and i understand most of them have an awesome appetite for inverts


i think im gonna lean towards smaller colorful or unique fish for my reef

hey all so not much over the past week just playing the waiting game, i did get my apex the other day so im still setting it up apparently its harder to set this up then it is to do any sort of brain surgery lol seriously though its alot of f'ing around(pardon my french) so far it makes a great thermometer lol well im almost got it figured out tonight im mounting it in its place with velcro and setting up the controller so its nice and clean.

i also finished up the stand a bit more while the misses was gone on hollidays so i had to make sure it was looking good when she got home to justify spending so much this month on it lol

im also gonna set up my refuge and frag tank tonight i have all the plumbing done its just a matter of filling it up and hooking up the return pump for now untill i get my led's ordered ill just use a small t5 or similar i have kincking around


heres some pics as it sits today i still am looking for more rock and some tonga branchcheers all






















and my job for tonight and proably till the day i die lol:
