I can really tell from the pictures you posted. Can't see it at all....

Maybe if you're a hobbit

That egg shell crate lid looks hideous

I run my eheim 1260 at about 75% and it siphons fine and I can run it at 100% and it siphons fine

I've got a life reef hob overflow and it doesn't need to be matched the the return pump and rumor has it one hasn't failed ever.

Figure out what system you want

Rocks on rocks on rocks

No. That didn't happen.

No experience with them, so idk.

If you're adding the tusk last you should be good. That was the only reason he bullied the grouper, because that was "his tank"

I had a lionfish in there with him an he was able to keep the tusk in check and not get bullied, but he got too big and I traded him in for about a 3 inch panther grouper who was the new guy in the tank, so the tusk tried to bully him. He would swim at him really fast from one side of the tank...

I have found that the bigger hermit crabs seem to last longer.

I've just got the tusk and a chainlink eel right now. They get along great, the tusk thinks the eel is his best friend but the eel could care less about him. Not that the eel is mean to him or anything, he just doesn't try to hangout with the him like the tusk does. I have a HOB filter right...

I have a harlequin tusk with about 6 hermits in my tank. The hermits have learned to become nocturnal and just hide in every possible nook and cranny until the lights go off. I buy 3-5 every time I go my to LFS and have so for about 10 months....you do the math as to how fast they get eaten.

Thanks! I'm thinking he might be a true male because I've seen several other Australian Tusks and none of them look like him. I just hope he keeps growing at the same rate so he doesn't out grow my tank before I can get a bigger one!

Yeah he lost a tooth. Not sure if it was from eating all my hermit crabs or if they just do that, but it grew back about a month later

Here's another close up

Yeah he's Australian, I got him from Live Aquaria. All those pics were taken before I got my T5 lights, his colors look so much better now. It's so hard to take a picture of him because he never stops moving!

New to the forum and just wanted to share some pictures of my setup. I currently have a 45 gallon FOWLR with a harlequin tusk, who is about 4 inches, and a chainlink eel, who is about 14 inches. I plan on upgrading to a 200+ in the next 3 years. Thanks!
