Maybe we should do a test with a sheet of ply wood first then put the water bed on top of it , invite Lutra's friends 15 friends and put them on the bed. If this holds then no problem for the tank. Hey and after the test who knowes......15 ppl one bed.....

Any one ever kept any thing like this?

I just read all 10 pages and now I cant wait to see these pics, Len come on post dude :D

The second butterfly is a Blackedged butterfly (Chaetodon dolosus) The damsel is a Sergeant major (Abudefduf vaigiensis) The LR is not rock but Blue coral-worm (Pomatoleios fraussii) the polyps are Squat sandy zoanthid (Palythoe natalensis).

Has any one kept these any tips mine are doing well I have had them (7) for around 6 months now and they look fine. If any one has tips on them I would love to hear as they are my fav fish and look so good I would hate to loose one

here are 2 very happy butterflys in one of my tanks, have you seen them before?

I have done 2 water changes in 13 months about 50 % each time my fish are doing fine, should I do it more often

I agree it is getting picked on I have 10 butterfly's in my tanks 4/3/3 and they tend to spend most of their time on the lowerrocks, i sugest a live rock hiding hole if you dont have one it needs to be deep and narrow so that only that fish can get in it can be vertical or at a 45% it should use...
