130 X 36 x 36 inbound...any suggestions?

I just saw some Tusks yesterday that were 1". The stripes were beige and brown and there were no bright colors on them at all. Not sure where they originated from but they were very cute.

Yeah, if I was gonna get one...it would have to be Aussie and an inch max...
 
hof will be here Monday to help remove the fish...
think I wil add the baby bandit, jocs, ch pair, baby regal and baby goldflake...will add the bandit pair in a couple weeks...interrupta will prob share a fuge....or...I will let my smaller one in the dt and add the 2nd, which I got from Tactics, a couple weeks later as that one is larger than the other...

1 joc and the flameback pair will be shipped to Karen within a week, I hope...will get some pics of those 3 before I ship...

triggers are my first love followed closely by angels...
in a heavy angel cycle now and the trigs are going to new homes and bigger tanks....thrilled to have the big trigs going into an 1800 system but will miss them...
the only trig left will be a tiny bursa, 2-2.5 inches that I have had for 2 years...she is in the big tank but is very mellow...last time I removed fish I planned on removing her too but couldn't find her in the tank...

I hope you realize how lucky you are. At least around here, finding homes for large fish sucks. How do you know people with huge aquariums AND still with enough room to take large fish AND that want the particular fish you have?
 
Are you sure you don't want to set up another tank instead of giving up your beautiful fish? Just curious, how many do you have? (tanks, not fish...)

Peter,
Between friends, reefers, HOF, NYA I am very lucky...
Though with rare fish it has been very easy to find a buyer...
Both places have some very serious clientele, esp HOF...
Most of my fish are sold before they leave my tank...
I even get offers on fish I do not want to part with...

Hey Denise,

I have 1 dt and 2 qt though the qts often become dt in their own right, lol, as is currently the case..
The dt is just under 1,000 gal with the 2 fuges...a 250 qt with a 75 gal fuge and a 125 qt with a 55 gal fuge...

While that's great for you, I just hope :) the mojority of people that read your thread realize it's not that easy, and don't plan that they will simply be able to trade in their over-grown model for a newer smaller flashier one.

It is great for me as it allows me to do what I love...
It has nothing to do with trading in anything over-grown and replacing it with something smaller and flashier that goes quicker 0-60...
For me, it is all about the challenge of growing tiny and/or hard to rear fish...
In many cases I will get a fish for somebody who is reluctant to try and raise it and wants a healthy specimen that eats...
...as I mentioned, this can be quite tough...I am very close with my outrigger and cinereus but knowing they are going into an 1800 that happens to be one of the craziest tanks I have ever seen makes it a bit easier...
but I still may keep one or both...:idea:

That comment was about other folks, not you, because the fact of the matter is it has everything to do with that, for many aquarists. Sorry if that came across like I was talking about you.

One of the things I try to do when posting here is think about the hundreds, sometimes, thousands of people that may read my post, and put myself in their shoes.

It's cool...
I have not really encountered that syndrome...
but the one that does kill me is when people kill or recommend that because their fish is aggressive or no longer wanted...just read another post...that makes me insane...

Me too. I find the total lack of empathy stunning. The fact that there were TWO different posters on that thread recommending that the OP kill the fish was doubly depressing.

What! Which thread? I'm going to have to go searching. If you can't take care of or don't want a fish and you are on Reefcentral, you should be able to find someone to take it off yours hands.

Just ridiculous.
