Yea its not the green though, the spotted bites him. Mr.Green has fellow eel issues too. The spotted will always bite him and run though.
ya it is always the little guys causing all the problems lol. maybe give it a week or two and see what happens. I have found when you have 2 dominant fish and you relocated one for a week or so and put them back together a lot of the issues have stop or significantly reduced.

Thanks man i hope he gets better too.

Well, i fully encourage everyone to give salt a try. Its truly an amazing experience... Don't put the tank by a tv though, you will miss everything and catch your self watching the tank lol. I have to watch movies over and over.

If you wanted to take the plunge there is a great group of helpful people in the General Saltwater section. Me and a couple others could really get a good saltwater set up going for you if you wanted to. The 300 gallon would be awesome... Keep this in mind, if you start small your going to have to repurchase everything for your 300 in the future and your 55 gear would not add up. So that would technically be a waste of cash, unless you kept the 55 running. I would say start big, its easier to make mistakes and crash a tank that is small. A large tank is almost impossible to ruin if set up correctly. I know some really good cash saving things as far as setting up big saltwater tanks, then theres the people who do it full blown.

Best thing to do is post a thread in the general saltwater. If you want i can write up a whole product list and fully list everything you need to set up that 300 gallon. I have only been doing salt for about a year but have already torn through 15 different tanks and about 50+ fish. Changing my mind and with predators its really trail and error.. Are you thinking predator tank? FOWLR semi pred, or community? A reef would not be the best choice at first, a 300 gallon reef would be a lot of money. Ill copy this to a pm for you. Let me know if you want the product list and prices for everything to fully set up your tank. I could also give you a fish list based on your choice of stocking. We can put it in your thread an let people add on to it.
