The tank is looking beautiful as always. Hey what type of angel fish do you have. Not the emporer but the one that is dark blue and orange. That is a beautfiul fish, well all of them all are. Are things still going good with the clown trigger? I am thinking about getting one when I set up my 200g bb. Good luck with everything.

Yes I know that one must be careful when adding a clown to the tank. I might just play it safe and add a blue throat trigger instead. I like the colors on the males alot. Thanks for the info on the angle, will have to do some research on those. I am still trying to get a final list of fish for my 200g. Thanks

Looks great as always!
I was wondering if you were going to try including a butterfly into your tank with the corals you have in there. Specifically, one of the classic non-reef butteflies, like an auriga for example.
I ask because seeing as you are successfull with keeping large angels and corals, I wonder if a butterfly would also have the same successes?

I have a 200 with 10 big fish in it also. The secret to keeping it disease free/stree free is to never add any fish after about 3-4 months. My fish never scratch, etc. When I was adding fish all the time I always had ick, fighting the new arrivals, problems. If hdtvguy can stop adding fish soon his tank with be extremely reliable and no problems. Even if one dies in a year, don't replace it. It seems there is always a problem when new fish are added to an established tank. I have had these fish for 6 to 7 years. I also do weekly 20% water changes. Always do the water changes, don't miss any weeks. In all those 7 years, I have never used any RO/DI, etc. I just use plain tap water. Never seems to be a problem with the fish. I have a wet/dry, no live rock, fish only tank. As for Queens, they are a problem. I had 2 in the past. They lived for only 2-3 years, but always had a problem with not eating for a week at a time. One lfs owner said they usually live only about 1 year. He didn't recommend them.

One was a juvenile and one was about 4-5 inches. The last one was actually a Blue Angel. It developed a bad habit of constantly chasing bubbles from the return. In about 3 years it went on about 6 one week times it would not eat. The emperor angel I have has never done that in 4 years.

I added a large Anemone to the tank. I was hoping my clown would host in it......Well after 10mins from putting it in the tank my perc was in heaven. I added it to my tank about 2 weeks ago he is loving the flow in the tank! He has moved a bit around the rock but stays right at the top close to one of my MH lights and close to a output from my 4-way. I have feed him once with a silverslide soaked in Selcon and he digested it in a day or two. My perc does not let my larger maroon clown come even close to it chases him away. Very funny to watch. I have moved my 4 actinic VHO URI bulbs closer to the water surface for better light penetration. They are about 3-4" above the water surface they made a big difference in the color of the tank compared to when I had them mounted 15-17" above. My MH were washing them out. I'm hoping to start on the framing of the tank to build it into the wall next week.
