@RCanik , I totally get your frustration at prices. My LFS guys are trying to sell me Current USA TrueLumen Pro lights, for $700! The 2 pack is $100 in the USA. I just can't fathom if they think I'm stupid or not. Having trust issues today.

I'm not really frustrated just find it somewhat amusing. Like I said, its a two way street. And really, I'm kind of stoked that stuff that was unbelievably expensive back home is so readily available here. Gives me a chance to own something different than what I had in Canada!

Has anyone seen any Long nosed Hawkfish in any LFS? Hawkfish/wrasse/gamma or basslet would be a fantastic tank. (fully aware that the hawkfish might have to move into the 180)

If you are referring to this

Then you will find these fairly regularly - probably around $50 - $60

If you get a hawkfish you seriously won't regret it!! I love mine to absolute bits, he's a pain in the arse with newcomers but other than that his personality is amazing and the behaviour's are absolutely hilarious sometimes!! :p

we're just going to have matching tanks I think haha

I'm hoping the hawkfish/wrasse/basslet or gamma combo will happen. First and most important for me is the wrasse haha. So once it's in the tank and settled I'll worry about the other stuff.

I have never seen my hawk (<--- in my avatar) even look at a snail.

cool...and r they compatible with most other fish? are they aggresive in there nature?

There's a pretty decent American website liveaquaria.com that has a great little compatability chart and gives a simple break down of most fish found in the aquarium hobby. It's a go to link for me when I want to find out some stuff! But yes, they are fine with other fish

I have always had a flame hawkfish in my tanks - they have lots of personality; they definitely know who provides the food to them; and they have never shown any agression towards my other fish.

I love my hawk too, never going to have a reef tank without one either! I've only ever see aggression towards smaller gobies and blennies but anything his size or bigger is fine :)

hahaha I agree :p
I'd add the hawk last but that would be an awesome combo of fish! :D The wrasse will be the best first addition as they're the shyest of them. I can't wait to see this tank get stocked and up and running!! :)
