Additional Aquarium Information

What do you think are the keys to your success in reefing?
Patience
Alright so.. I need everyone's opinion here this is big.
My LFS got in a WHITE TAIL BRISTLETOOTH.. and he's willing to sell it too me. Is it a good idea to buy it? It'd be the fourth fish with my wrasse. The tank is healthy we haven't had a fish death in forever it's just been the same three fish. What do you guys think?

Good morning Camden
 
Ayyyy congrats. So fun fact about me. Yes, I would consider myself an old-school gamer for sure. Apart from reefing, one of my hobbies is retro game collecting. I love seeing where video games have come from, all the weird promotion stuff, the obscure consoles that no one knows about, and sharing the history with people. I have a collection that ranges from an Atari 2600 in the box, all the way to ps4 era (Don't own any modern consoles). I have somewhere around 1.2k games? Lost track of that, haha. I'll have to share some of the cool collectibles I have. Like I have a Mario Kart 64 land line phone, or the LJN Video Art a very obscure game console that came out in 1987.

Here below is an estimated price of my collection with the amount of games I have (note I don't have all of my big box pc games and loose pc games logged here, so it's missing a good 40+ games)

I honestly have had the thought cross my mind to sell off a lot of the collection and only keep what is nostalgic to me, but I never can bring myself to do it. Partially because I want to do a full blown media basement that looks similar to a blockbuster/video rental store. That is the main reason that has kept me from selling a lot of it off
 
60 gallons.
Yeah, I wouldn't do a bristle tooth in a tank that size. You would definitely have some aggression issues, and you risk that tang getting ich due to it being stressed out

absolutely agree. The White Tails can grow to around 7"
 
thats what I thought at first. 4 feet and you're probably ok but when he said 60 gal? maybe he meant 160?
I think it's probably 3 feet if it's a 60. You can have a 60 that's 4 feet but they are frag tanks

Good morning Rock! After all the kids in school were talking about this Star Wars movie soI had to go see it. I was in 5th grade and that was a long long time ago and in a galaxy far far away.
