Yeah I thought that might be the case. Sounds to me like a very expensive way to feed a Lionfish......

at £4.00 each they are not that bad (if you really want them and want to take a gamble ) I would put some in when the lionfish is smaller than them, you will have some time then , before he will be big enough to bother them ween him onto frozen and you may have no problem ? they will normally try to eat any thing smaller than thier heads. you will soon know if it is time to get rid of them, if you lose a fish . and he swims around the tank with a big smirk on his face ,and a nice fat lump in his belly lol.

cheers for all ya info chaps love this site so many of ya helpfull, all credit to tel boy for selling me his entire rio 125 contents lol i would like to try ang get away with a regal tang a fox face and 6 cromis or anthias would that be overstocking with my already pair maroon clowns algae blenny emerald green wrasse pyjama cardinal and my niger trigger my tank is 6 ft x 18 x 24 and i have just ordered a 4 ft sump and will be running 2 exsternal filters to i would add them gradual from now till probally october november as not to increase loadf to quick what ya chaps think ?

Duncan, one of my LFS has a True pair of Hawian Flame Wrasse that you were after.....only cost you £350.

IMO, that should just about be ok but that would be your lot. Be very careful with Regal Tangs though as they are extremly prone to whitespot and I would recommend qurantining them if poss and treated with copper. Whitespot is a lot more serious in a marine tank and lots of people have had their whole tank wiped out by it in a matter of days.

cheers slash for the advice my brother ian on ere has my little nano tank while hes setting up his 5 footer so will wait for the tangs till i get that back make a ideal quarantine tank

as long as you get a 4ft sump as well, and take your time stocking, you should be fine

cheers grandad ya help is very appreciated i may even up grade and get a 5 foot sump with auto top up at end kill 2 birds 1 stone lol i am also looking after my brothers niger and the pair of them are just swimming round side by side like old married couple lol

Pretty much the bigger the better! A new sump is very needed on our tank. Due to how the stand is built and because it wasn't thought through very well, the 8ft'er only has a 3ft x 1ft x 1ft

Hoping to change it over to two 40" x 18" x 18" if possible.

Glad to hear the Triggers are getting on well

glad to help bigger the better as slash says for the sump , ( anything get to aggressive theres a home for him )cant do much harm to any other fish down there
