I'm actually not enjoying the whole reef tank at all!
Why not? It's my pride & joy!

I guess I'll forget about the toby. Maybe go w/a Fu-Manchu lion. They're pretty cool! I'll really have an oddball tank then!

Well I really don't have the proper time to take care of a reef tank, so it seems so hard right now! My fish come first and so my reef tank gets a bit neglected. Maybe with more time I would enjoy it more but I work about 12 hours a day and when I get home I just love to enjoy my puffer and relax!

I am also looking into a small type lion fish like the fu-manchu. My LFS has a few right now but Im still not sure about them around my puffer. LFS, which I trust seem to think it should be fine if my puffer leaves the lion alone. Not so sure yet!

Yup, you can't ignore a reef tank!
