Couldn't find a FOWLR section, so I guess this goes in here.
There were several fish I wanted to have but couldn't put in the reef tank. So, I started a predator tank. After cycling, I tested it with a pair of damsels and chromis knowing they would be food for the predators. They did well, so I added a lionfish and my kids named him George, followed by a trigger and the kids named him Tecumseh. Don't ask why. Saw a gorgeous blue face angel, so now the tank is no longer a predator tank but is now a FOWLR tank. Funny thing is, the chromis and the damsel pair are still alive. The predators will gulp down silversides larger than those three, but they all seem to coexist happily! Weird.
