Well someone kept stealing fish from my tank (it's an office tank) and I got sick of it, so I decided to go ahead and convert this into a venomous predator tank instead. Good luck to anyone sticking their hands into this tank! Sorry for the algae on the glass - I upgraded the lights from a Razor Nano to a Hydra26 and it's a battle getting control of the lights now. AI Hydra26 is really very strong!

Current inhabitants:

3x Dwarf Fuzzy Lionfish (Dendrochirus brachypterus)

2x Bandtail Waspfish (Paracentropogon zonatus) - Rare waspfish from the Philippines!

1x Cockatoo Waspfish (Abablys taenianotus)

1x Valentini Puffer (Canthigaster valentini)

1x Sunburst Anthias (Serranocirrhitus latus)

All are very personable fish who beg for food all day long. Very fun tank to keep and watch! Tank is running on a Maxspect Gyre 130, Skimz SH1 skimmer and Skimz BR80 Biopellet reactor using All-In-One Biopellet media. Nitrates are 2.5 and Phosphates 0.03 based on Salifert test kits.

Without further ado, here are some pictures:

Wow. This tank looks awesome. Are the fishes ok with corals?

Why would someone want to steal fish from your tank? Sashimi in the office? Haha

Anyway, all the best for your algae battle bro!

Nope, the predators are all dwarfs and the sunburst is already 2.5 inches, only slightly smaller than the largest fuzzy lion - it's the 2nd largest fish in the tank currently. By the time any of the predators grow large enough to be a threat to the sunburst, the sunburst will be removed and brought home to my reef tank instead :)

Quis custodiet ipsos custodes

Too many people spend money they haven't earned to buy things they don't want to impress people they don't like.

Lovely collection of fishes.

A webcam (with SD card recording) could be a nice deterrent to potential thieves.
