Eating is not a problem when it comes to the scribbles, What you are going to have to watch for is his territorial aggressive nature and how fast they grow, You must put that fish last on your tank or you will be selling him in no time.

How are they with corals????

 

[ghstrider]

Thanks Rob! And thanks again for the live rock man it worked out great!

How are they with corals????

Ive heard they are hit or miss with LPS as are most other large angels but SPS seem ok. Obviously nothing is certain in this hobby and if I see him taking a liking to any SPS then out it will come. Im starting to like fish more than corals so the fish are here to stay.

Update on feeding:

She loves mysis especially PE and will eat frozen from the clip as well. Not too big into flakes and pellets although she does pick at it.

I try to feed a small variety of different several times a day so hopefully she'l be tearing up the dry stuff in no time.

great fish-- will certainly be the boss of your tank--- Now will be a great time to hang that famous roger's mesh with some food to get that puppy eating the right stuff.

CONGRATS

What type of wood are you going to use for the skin on the stand?

 

[ghstrider]

I got all cherry wood for the skin from shell lumber. Its gonna be awesome.

 

[WhoDey64]

Nice choice

I ordered the AI sol blue setup yesterday and got a phone call that they came in today and shipped out right away. Premium Aquatics came thru big time and they price matched and BEAT a great price from a competitor.

Picked up the remainder of the Cherry wood for the doors and accent trim on the stand, marine silicone to seal inside of stand, and cherry stain for the stand today. I think we are right on schedule for mid December on the setup.

Some bad news... the Scribbled didn't make it. Sux.

Sorry to hear that (your loss).. Great lights. +1 for Premium Aquatics, Great Company. Good luck on the build.
