    Would I get away with a little lionfish in this tank, I say little, so I have more chance of having some larger snails and hermits in there too.(so they don't end up n the buffet menu)
    I have heard they are "hardy" might this be a good fish to pop in there 1st ?
    What would be the ideal variety ? Again there will be clowns, tangs, angels and some other mates in the tank, I don't currently plan on any corals, but u never know for sure.

    Too many margaritas... LOL.


    I actually don't drink, unless you count the Latte I'm presently slurping. And the Latte is supper, so I guess no pizza either.

    Lemme go back and read some.

    Sorry Mate, large angels don't go with lions. :-( But if you want to ditch your current stocklist we could make a cool one around lions. LOL.

    Lions won't eat snails or hermits, BTW. You're safe there.

    I've always wanted an Emperor. They are on my bucket list.

    I'm still traumatized hearing about your 4 hours of daily driving.

    Dang, I'm so pleased I didnt just buy one whilst I was in big AL's. ;D
    The angel defiantly has to stay, he is the reason we are going the tank expansion in the 1st place, my good lady, would beat me senseless if I got rid of the angel....................... Maybe it died ? Very sad............ Would she ever really know ? I could trade it for a couple of lions and a eel ? Hmmmmmmmm................. Actually she is a woman, she would soon figure it out.

    Ok, so I have 2 400 watt heaters blowing their brains out for almost 4 weeks, and the tank is 27 degrees............................ What is the magic "watts" per gallon rule, I think another 400 will get me there, but I didn't want them turned on full just to get to temp ?
