Re: More questions on Marine setup
If you feel confident going in that direction, then go for it. It's always best to start off with a RR tank than drill one. We have a guy out here who does them all the time.

Re: More questions on Marine setup
I'd rather have the tank drilled but that's not an option, I guess.
Even if it wasn't tempered glass no one around here will do it. In a town of 18,848 people, only one glass company, one lfs, and a 45min - 2 hour drive to the next closest place I'm kind of at the mercy of what's available. Biggest stores in town are a Wal-Mart and Fleet-Farm.Recty wrote:Just an FYI, ALL Aqueon/All-Glass aquariums over 55g have tempered glass bottoms. You cannot drill those, it will simply shatter the glass.

Re: More questions on Marine setup
On to the next part of the question, if the Emperor Angels and the Porc are too much for the tank, what would be some good fish to add a splash of color. I do know Porc's are particular about roommates and large angels are pretty safe. Is there anything smaller that would be left alone? I was thinking 2 Wart skin Angler fish possibly. Are most Wrasse safe with Porc's? If they are that opens up a whole new world of possibilities.

Re: More questions on Marine setup
I may have to find Nemo? Arrrrrgggghhhhhh!!!! My kids asked me if we could get a "Nemo and Dory" fish and I told them no. I may have to eat my words. There's some Dad Karma coming around to bite me.

Re: More questions on Marine setup
What about a pair of Raccoon Butterfly fish or Auriga Butterfly fish? Preferably the latter because it is easiest to care for and will give the "splash of color" my wife wants. Personally I'd just like the Porc in there with a Snowflake eel.....
