im also really interested in trying one as well. ive only kept freshwater thus far. assuming i do succesfully get the tank set up with all parameters correct, any words of wisdom? i probably wont end up doing this for a year or two but im tyring to get a good idea of what i should consider. i understand ill need something large..is a 150 big enough? i dont see very many tanks larger than that at local pet stores, then again i dont visit too many saltwater shops either.
what about tank mates for these guys. id love to keep a trigger perhaps or a porcupine fish. people at petshops have told me that theyre all big enough to get along with eachother but im skeptical about the grouper swallowing the porcupine fish or the trigger getting at the grouper :-/ say i get them all small, will the grouper grow so fast that its huge while my other fish are all small still? i know its a lot of questions but i want to get things straight before even contemplating this in great detail. this setup is probably dangerous so if anyone could recommend other good tank mates id appreciate it. thanks.
