Enigma is on a distinguished road
Default Flame Angel Fish

I picked up a used RSM 130, and while I had intended to leave it unused until my NC24 requires an upgrade (which will be a while down the road, since the NC24 hasn't even started cycling yet), hubby has other ideas.

He has moved the RSM to where he thinks it should be, and he has rearranged the rec room so that the RSM has a prominent place beside the TV: so the TV and the tank can be viewed at the same time.

He is really enjoying our saltwater adventure . . . he enjoys watching the tanks while I do all of the work that isn't heavy lifting.

I didn't want more than two separate water systems in the house, and as this one will be #3 I want it to be pretty easy. I think a mini FOWDR (fish-only-with-dry-rock) is the way to go (I no longer do live rock).

I would really, REALLY, like to have a Flame Angel. From my reading, an RSM 130 with plenty of rock should be a perfectly appropriate habitat for this fish. I understand it may nip polyps, and that I can't add another dwarf angel to the tank with it (at least not a tank this small).

Of course, what I've discovered about researching fish, is that often times "dirty little secrets" aren't widely known or well publicised. It is only once an issue arises with the specific fish that the aquarist has purchased that the information is easy to turn up. Are there any dirty little secrets to be aware of with the Flame Angel?

Also, what would be some appropriate fish to add to a community tank with a Flame Angel . . . keeping in mind that the Flame Angel would probably be added first. I'd like a variety of colours as the visual interest in this tank would be the fish. I am playing with http://www.marinecompatibilityguide.com to get some ideas, but I would love to learn about what people are having success with.
