Hey I can't help but notice the beautiful regal angel you have in your tank. How long have you had it? I was thinking about getting one but wasn't quite sure how it would do in a reef. Your tank looks similar to mine, mostly SPS and LPS, but I have a couple of softys and some zoos as well. What would be your advice on putting a regal angel into a reef tank? Thanks so much for your help.

I wouldn't recommend it..... that fish is a coral eater, it eats acros, most LPS (although he leaves my frogspawn and bubblecoral alone), clams and zoos.

It's less demanding of my time and there are no red bugs, no flat worms, no "coral eating" fish....

The big tank constantly reminds me of all my mistakes

Ok, I agree now...the Phoenix SE are too blue for my liking as well. Now i get to spend the next 6 months trying to decide what to replace them with.

Yeah, it's strange to see Marie's tank without 1/2" thick coralline.
