Lots of pressure. Drilling your own overflow and returns... I'd die if the glass cracked.

Mine has "tasted" a few SPS but didn't leave a mark. Usually he's gliding around the rockwork and glass picking at pods.
Well I picked one up, FS about an hour away was having a big sale. Of course I walked out with more than I intended.....

Hopefully all goes well and he does his job. He said he only orders Ora, he's personally had a lot of bad luck with others.

Mine was ORA or biota, the lfs buys a lot of captive bred fish.

Mine's ORA. Both Biota and ORA mean it's not wild caught so it cuts down on the chances for disease and helps be sure it's eating prepared food but it also increases the chance that you have a Filefish that won't touch Aiptasia I figure since they're raised on pellets and flake.

I have always had good luck with them, only ones I have purchased were captive bred. They have always eaten aptasia, I think this is the third one I have had?

I locked mine up with a bunch of Aips and it ate all the pods and ignored the Aiptasia.

Just curious for those with bigger tanks, in a 125-150, anyone have more than one tang? Just playing around in my head with potential stocking lists for a future tank and wondering if you only have one tang does it lead to more aggression towards the smaller fish. I really like powder blue tangs, but I think they need a 180 or more, but curious if there was only one could it be ok.

I don't have a powder blue tang. I have in my 180 a yellow tang, purple tang, desjardin sail fin tang, hippo tang, foxface, clowns. I never has a problem.

Desjardin sail fins are my daughters favorite. They have one at the LFS that is super friendly and always comes to check her out, they are huge though.
