^ sure, I agree totally if you want an opinion or suggestion, forums are great. That why I'm here and on other sites. To be able to put up a post and get a reply from around the world, this internet thing is amazing.

Now for some things where the answer can have a big impact on a decision, like how big does that sweetlips grow, it's like asking the 16yr old at the LFS, not saying the answer is wrong but you take your chances. I'll look into a book or on-line reference.

sweetlips max out at about 1-2". FACT.

I really like going to a massive user pool when it comes to finding equipment reviews. For cases where I have a question and don't want to be buried in posts within 5 min and want a longer-term conversation our forum is much better I think.

Anyone like the Scott W. Michaels book?

I have the 500+ Marine Fishes book by him. Its pretty brief but if all you're looking for is some quick information on a common species its good one to own. If you want more information he has a series of several longer books but I've never bothered with them so I cant comment.

Those were the ones I was considering for when I go to set up my next tank (in a year or so). Going to need to plan it out much better then I have with this one I am really thinking 120G is the magic number. I just like the look of 4' tanks

I think I will have a look at some of these other books mentioned aswell though

1-2", damn, the kid was right. Guess the fish would have been okay for the 20g.

LOL that would be funny to see someone buy that and then figure out they get to 2'5"
