Careful, I saw the elders take down a teen the ohter day, and it was not pretty! Remember, they are always watching and we all know that fish talk, so your secret is out!

What size tank do you have now? Don't worry, I won't lecture you on over-stocking, just trying to get some perspective. What do you currently have for filtration, lights, skimmer? How do you like your yellow watchman? I just got one today and he is already digging around in the sand, fun to watch. If you are going FOWLR, you could get by with the proper hang-on filter and skimmer. that will help if you are on a budget. Just let us know what you have now and we all can suggest up-grades as needed. you are right, this hobby is addicting.
