Fish only & algae...

[Tim Marvin]

I gave a clown trigger to Jim that will eat anything. Snails, hermits, small fish, fingers, and anything else you put in there. Be wary of triggers, or at least know what to expect.

Josh, I encourage you to get triggers if you are looking for that type of tank. I have the clown and humu-humu and they are the coolest and have tons of personality. I put my arm in to clean and they do go after it, but you just go after them instead. I consider it "play", but I'm sure thats not what they are thinking! The only other fish I have in there is a mean damsel to grab the little pieces, and a lion thats about 10" when fins are spread - he rules the tank and they know it! Hope this helps.

If you want to keep a lion dont get a trigger, those flowing fins can get nipped fast by many triggers, may be able to get away with one of the Xanthicthys triggers (Bluejaw, Sargasum etc) but a picasso / clown would be bad.

If no triggers then you could get a few urchins, also a few of those golfball sized turbos would probably be ok, would be worth trying - if you don't have corals to worrk about them knocking over they are awesome for algae control (one of mine helped me frag my red montipora digitata today!)

Wow, I feel lucky and I guess my lion should too. His fins are so long an absolutely flawless. Never thought about that.
