I have never owned one. I asked my LFS( who are very awesome, experienced, and knowledgable) to order me one, which they could have, but they said that they would warn me away from it. I believed one of them had one before. I wanted one badly, but took their advice.

See thats the direction im headed. Im a firm believer in that one shouldnt buy fish that tey cant house at full size. And although im one to take chances when it come to sw, it seems as though this isnt worth the risk. Im gonna stick with a different trigger (assasi or picasso). I already have the niger trigger in with my snowflake clown and 2 yellow belly kupang damsels, so the 2nd trigger will prob be going in sometime soon ( to avoid trigger on trigger fighting)
It sucks! I take chances too, but occasionally listen at times. I've seen tanks with 3 different triggers, but I they don't get along, I don't have an extra tank big enough to house the other. Because I would also love to have a red coris wrasse, but can't because of the fear that my Lunar Wrasse will destroy it. Darn SW water in SW crime!!!! Lol

Just got done adding salt. I wasnt about to use 2-5g buckets to fill this monster, so i instead grabbed 25-30 ft of ribbed tubing, filled my tub up, and used my skimmer pump to fill the 125. (fron 2 rooms away). Seriously though this skimmer pump is still shocking me everyday. I have it sitting on its side in the front right corner of the tank and its making ripples in the back left corner behind the overflow box. Now in waiting for the salt to mix thoroughly and im gonna check the salinity and see where im at. Hoping to get everything in tonight. Atleast the sand and live rock

Well the day has come!! The 125 is officially up and running! Its not filled all the way because i still need to finalize the plumbing and buy that return pump. Jesse, i was gonna go with one of the pumps you suggested but luckily someone contacted me about a mag 18. Cant pass up 80 bucks for a like new mag 18. So far we have 4 fish in the tank.

Wow whats that wrasse called??? Awesome fish!
Nu Nu, I am shocked that you wouldn't know! Lol it's a Red Coris Wrasse. I didn't know either, because I only seen them as a juvenile, was shocked it was the same fish!!! Google it, it's one of those fish, that you would pass up as a Juvenile regularly. He is my substitute for a Harlequin Tusk! Lol until I can see myself forking out $200 for one, this is the most colorful one I can compare it to. I love him! I was afraid my Lunar wrasse would tear him to shreds, but had an upperhand?!?! Yesterday, my LFS got a lunar wrasse in. I was BSing with the owner, because he was deciding where was a safe spot to stick the Lunar. He decided to put him in with the red coris, although they were the same shape and size. I told him if that red coris is still alive in the next day I would grab it. So I go in there today, not see the red coris. I asked the owner, and jokingly he said, I hope he's alive, but my be in two pieces underneath the sand( where the sleep and hide). I was about to leave and VOILA!!!! the red coris wrasse!!! The red is doing great so far, and the Lunar is now acting more like a wrasse!( playing in the sand) I guess to impress it! Lol and
I am sorry to hear about the Niger!!!!! they are usually pretty hardy!
