Clown Triggerfish

I was at my LFS a day ago and they had Clown Triggerfish for sale for $40 I am waiting for my 125G tank to cycle, and still thinking about what fish I'd like. Long story short I looked on liveaquaria.com to get more info about the Triggerfish and it said min tank 300 gallons!! Really? What in the world! So I guess I'm asking would this thing really out grow my tank?

Lights for a 90 gallon tank.!!!!

Hello guys, i just upgraded!!!! Hell yeah !!! Finally i got rid off my biocube and bought a 90 gallon tank. Mayor concern is that i just have an AI prime hd for now, i am planning to get hydra 26 hd for the tank, but, I don’t really know if i will be able to have lots of sps corals with the hydras, i know that T5’s are a very economic option but i need lights that are programables . Can you guys give me advices for lighting and also for a good protein skimmer. Please. Thank you so much.


125 Gallon start up

So I've been working on my 125 Gallon Fish tank with 40 gallon sump for some time, I bought it second hand for $300 7 months ago, I was kind of procrastinating it because I had a lot of work to do I wanted it to be as close to perfect as I could. I installed a tile floor for it, installed a dedicated 15 amp GFCI outlet for power, made a minor repair to the stand and screwed it to the studs just for added peace of mind(kids). I plumbed it last week waited 24 hours and filled the tank on Monday March 26th I was feeding it fish food to start the cycle but then I decided to add my Damsel from 14G tank to kind of speed things up. He actually started my 14G tank two years ago. I am super excited this is finally going!! :dance: Anyway, this is the hard part, waiting for the cycle to finish. When I started my 14 gallon I killed live stock because I added fish before it had finished cycling(some how my damsel survived without injury) obviously I'm not going to make that mistake again but all I can think about is filling it up with my list of fish I want any tips on how to get through this difficult time?

Can someone identify this? Good or bad?

I was cleaning my tank this morning which is a bare bottom 40 breeder and saw this snail like thing crawling across the bottom. Not sure if it's a good or bad. Can anybody identify it?
Thanks

Sea hair

Has anyone ever had any luck with a sea hair eating their hair algae? I have a ton of sea algae and was wondering if getting a sea hair would work.


Happy Easter and April Fools Day

Morning everyone. Coffee is out for those headed to Easter Egg hunts and church.

Back at it in the garage. Also got trim to install.

Have a great Sunday whatever you are up to.

Beginner to Dosing - What to Order?

Hi guys! Hope everyone is well and has a great holiday. I just finished setting up my system after a couple years on hold and am now looking into dosing and getting set up and prepared. I have all but what to order for mixes and am confused how to go about it. I've watched a ton of videos and it seems very complex. I'm hoping there is a premade solution to get started and in the future I'll go with BRS and their 2 part. I see Ken's has a bunch of already made chemicals but don't want to order the wrong things so could use some feedback. I'd relly appreciate any suggestions and would like to order soon. Thanks in advance for your time and consideration!

I'm posting a video of my new setup and would love to hear what you think would improve upon what I have thus far, Thanks again!
