It’s a mixture. Live rock from back in the day when it was legal to harvest it, live rock from kp aquatics and mined dry rock. I built the structures using marco 400 cement. For the live rock I filled a spray bottle with saltwater and kept it wet while working on it and also covered it with wet paper to keep it wet. The cement has to sit an hour then can be placed back in water to finish curing.

Have you talked to KP Aquatics? Looks like they have one (Large) in stock.

French Angelfish

These French Angelfish will live a long time in an aquarium, and if you have a big tank, they will grow pretty big. They aren't picky eaters.

Yes he is a french! His name is Philippe! I actually snagged him from my LFS. One of my contacts did a tank breakdown and this guy was in it. So he knows I love french angels and texted me about him and I rushed over and brought him home! I couldnt find one online at all either so this was super lucky!

Wow! Nice collection! Any aggression issues? Especially with Queen. What size system is it? Thanks

They are pretty well settled right now but there are issues that pop up. Emp Snapper got killed about a month ago.



This is a Pro Star 230 Gallon, I highly recommend it and I'll probably buy another for the Queen Trigger.

I don't put my bare hands in the tank anymore either...some of these fish are pretty big, I thought the porc puffer was going to take off the tip of my finger after a well-timed jump/bite during a feeding. Felt like my finger was being pulverized.
