My cheap 125

The largest rabbitfish that I had was maybe a 7 inch one spot foxface.

"Overall, rabbitfish are quite undemanding in captivity and do not require any special type of tank or filtration. That being said, they do tend to grow to large sizes (the goldline rabbitfish, for example, can reach a length of 17 inches!). With this in mind, one should only attempt to keep a rabbitfish in a very large aquarium (certainly over 125 gallons) if hoping to house it long-term. "

Those are the smallest of the rabbitfish.

Which I'm pretty sure is one of the smaller rabbitfish.

If it truly grows to 17" (which several websites said its traditionally closer to 10") then even a 125g tank is too small IMO.

No you're fine. I literally only have one to gain entries into giveaways. Otherwise I don't care about my build thread at all.

@Erin1971Texas when you first mentioned the size of the rabbitfish I responded with a laugh mostly because this was the type of image it brought to mind

I’m sure @tbrown3589 has plans to upgrade to one of these in a couple years tho…

If I keep buying corals, my wife's going to make me for sure!

If I keep buying corals I think my wife may leave.....then think of how much room I'll have for a bigger tank.

Updated shot of my tank with my blue lights on.

I have an order coming in from SBB corals next week and I’m excited to get it but worried about where to put them.

 

[Gtinnel]

26 corals and I have no clue where to put them.

What is this gem?

you sir have a good eye, that is a BKChem Froot Loops and it is the one I am most excited for. I got it for $1 during the SBB live sale over the weekend.

$1... I don't have words right now.

$1... I don't have words right now.

After using discounts and gift cards that I had saved up I only spent $180 before shipping on the whole order.
1 hammer, 3 torches, 4 montis, 5 gonis, and 13 acropora.
I’ve found that many of the vendors on R2R who have sale threads make it worthwhile to be active on their threads, and SBB is probably one of the best. He is incredibly generous to those that are active on his thread.

I have seen their lives before. Just never really parcipated. I am going there now! I'll make sure they know you sent me ;)
