    Well my 75gal sps tank is officially deadly. I just picked up the worlds most venomous fish. It is the reef stonefish and has killed people. It is going to be in there with my leaf fish and my goldentail moray eel. I have another leaf fish that is coming in the mail tomorrow. I will post pics once my camera is charged and ready to go.

    Wow. Here's a YouTube video where the guy is talking about how bad their stings hurt. He says "That will make you scream like you've never screamed before, you'll go back into the water to find a box jellyfish just to take the edge off." haha http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lAR5FyZGZb4

    I'm not sure I'm ready to call you crazy just yet....now, if you hold your stone fish like the dude in the video...THEN you would clearly be crazy !!

    Congrats on a bold adventure....should be pretty cool !

    There are several youtubes on Stonefish....including one who eats Trigger Fish

    I can confirm it's there....I saw it today when I finally picked up my rock order.

    Those are some freaky fish you like.

    Liked the corals quite a bit tho /DesktopModules/ActiveForums/themes/_default/emoticons/smile.gif.

    Hey everyone sorry I haven't updated the thread. Well I woke up this morning and the fish was upside down dead. I'm not sure what happened but I have a suspicion that the fish was caught with cyanide or there was something else wrong with it. I'm not very happy because I had seascapes here in DM order it in for me and picked it up from them right when it came in.

    On a better note though, I just purchased a new tank from seascapes. I bought the marineland 150gal deep dimension. I will put up a build thread.
