Steve,

I didn't think you could crowbar anything else into your sump!

My Regal is a model citizen, Pierce's Regal is it's evil twin.

The Euroreef is pretty small and should fit in the sump. I might need an upgrade on the sump soon though.

So was Pierce's Regal evil from the start? LMK

I don't believe so. He kept it in his refugium for a few weeks to fatten him up. Their notorious for not eating. (I bought mine and he wasn't eating) When he released the Regal into the reef tank, I think it hid a lot and then started to munch on the zoos a week or two later, then the "clam" incident came shortly after even though there were plenty of zoos left.

I was thinking of trying another Regal, saw some guy on the Regal angel thread on RC with a pair of them in a 120g. He added the second one a few months later and now they swim along each other.

Yup, mine started on the zoas about 1 week after it went into the SPS tank, he proceed to pick at the clams few weeks after that.

I need the move that devil upstairs with the rest of the angles:(.

Warren, I am thinking about getting another regal too, want to drive down to fishtown tomorrow?

Warren,

I saw the fish today at fishtown and had to have him. He was only $40 and was very thick. I put him in my tank and he started eating right away. He is eating all types of prepared foods and has been picking on the rocks. He does hide alot and likes to swim in between the rock. I just hope he doesn't begin munching on my clams...

They dont have anymore regals, but they do have a few majestics. The majestics they have left are bigger then mine, but they are much fatter and look healthier. The prices for the majestics are $59-129.

Pierce,
I was going to call you tomorrow to see if you wanted to take a drive to FT. I was going to see if they had any mexican turbos and Regals but Steve bought the last and probably the best one. :lol:

Do you still want to head down there, I can pick you up around 10am or later. LMK

They have always eaten in the past for me.

I had an Emperator, Blueface live together in my 90g for 11 yrs and a French that was added about 2 yrs later so they all got along for 9+ years. They actually survived a tank breakdown for my move from Fresh Meadows to Mineola. What did them in was a very bad case of ick after they survived the big blackout. I didn't loose my tank from the 16 hr power outage but from the stress induced illness that resulted afterwards.

I replaced them with these four guys:

House is over rated especially if it's a cape like mine. It's footprint is so small that my three tanks are in the basement with the exception of my nano-cube. Should have stayed in Fresh Meadows. At least in that house, I could've stuck an 8' tank in the dining room.
