00W's AIO Smorgasbord

[Calmwaters]

I can never in good conscience suggest a damsel of any kind. I'm sure others have had excellent experiences with them, but me? Never again. By far the most evil fish I've ever encountered.

That seems to be what the majority of what I'm reading says.

The list of corals looks good to me, I'm only worried about the Pavona and the Birdsnest, although the Pavona is said to be one of the easiest SPS, and another thing, I only see a tang (chocolate tang), what is the other one?

A Scopas

A Scopas

I like your choices, another question, do you want the tangs because you like them or do you want them more so that they help you eat algae?

Really thinking about placing this order but wanted you guys thoughts...

Good list Amanda but I think the birdsnest is a little pricey. I’ve heard tales of a lunatic in Ohio that gives birdsnest frags away for free. ;)

I want some free birdsnest but Ohio is just a touch too far to drive. Kevin, I need you to go get some and bring em to me ok? :grinning-face-with-sweat:

Sadly Ohio is too far from me to drive or I would happily go meet the lunatic...

Good morning reefers!

You come onto the thread like the Koolaide Man or Kramer!

Both. I like them but that they will eat algea is am added bonus.

That made me actually laugh out loud. Bravo Sir!

Agreed John although I'm putting at THE top of my list any and all dottybacks.
Period.

Order placed! Can't wait to get it!

Scopus is a wonderful fish and actually quite beautiful.
Can get very large and territorial and will defend itself very well, if you know what I mean.
I had one take on a Niger trigger.
I'm a firm beliver in one tang per tank unless you're at 300 gallons but that's just me.
I'd get a Scopus again no problem so good choice.
I just tend to be safe rather than sorry.
For me the most aggressive tangs are the purple, powder blue, yellow and Scopus, maybe not in that order.
They do tend to leave everything else alone, unless the other fish are aggressive too.
My dos centavos.

I'm hoping since they are shaped totally different and going in at the same time I will have no issues.

i always think of jennifer when i see a chocolate tang. she was so excited about that fish!

That's why I got one to honor her. She was an amazing and inspiring person and everytime I look at my tank I think of her especially since she was the one that gave me my lights when my first set died.

@Calmwaters he seems to have good price and positive reviews.

Thank you! I will check him out! I'm going to see a lady somewhat local to me Saturday and buy some corals from her. After all the ones I have ordered and the ones I get from her are placed I will see what else I need.

Do you guys think if I turn the rock that my anemone is stuck to it will make it mad and make it move? I just want to turn it slightly toward the front where I can see it more...

Yes absolutely right! Sadly.....

If it has been there for a long time, it is because it likes that place. You could try to move it and if you see that it moves, then turn back, or leave it to luck lol and let it move where it wants.
