Thanks, everybody else too!

Thanks! I haven't been able to find anyone who's tried a combination like this. (Except for LFS, who'll tell you anything'll works!) Helps to hear from someone who's kept a tuskfish in a tank like that...

Hey there everybody... I'm interested in adding a Harlequin Tuskfish to my 240g tank. I'm hoping that some of you who've had experience with them can help me know if this is a good idea. The current residents of the tank are: 1 Yellowbar or Halfmoon Angelfish (Pomacanthus Maculosus) 1 Humu...

Thanks everybody... Everything I've found has made me think a more "moderate" choice like a Picasso might be a better bet--a species w/ some of that trigger attitude, but less likely to be extremely difficult. I think the clowns are amazing in appearance and behavior, and if I got the right...

Hi all... Looking for some thoughts and expertise... I'm a little over a year into the hobby and enjoying it a lot. Despite a few problems here & there, my 90g tank is doing well. I've just finished cycling a new 240g tank. So far, the only resident is a young Maculosus Angel. Standing by are a...

Thanks for the reply, Lawdawg... You may be right about splitting things up. I have some insurance anyway. After I pick up the new tank, I'll be holding onto the 90. Here's hoping that between this and a newer, larger tank, I'll be able to cover myself, whether or not I add new fishes. I have...

Hi all... I have a 6 month old FOWLR. It's 90 gallons with about 110 lbs. LR and a 20 gallon sump containing the return pump and skimmer. Current tenants include a 5" Volitans, 12" Snowflake Eel, and a 6" Marine Betta--perhaps the boldest of the bunch, if you can believe that... Being new to...
