I hope you're ready for a lecture on what big sand bed they need...

I would suggest that you post that you took it back. Will save you some grief.

Lol told you so.

 

[ErinCahir]

I would suggest that you actually take it back instead of just saying you did.

Or you could just let it slowly starve to death in your tank.

Please take it back, its not for my benefit i say return the poor creature.

[Sir Alex]

Isn't 125 gallons enough?

I think its the depth of the sand bed thats more important than your square footage. I can say, that after I got my star at the advice of the LFS my tank did go downhill. It could be coincidence but it was then that my algae outbreak took place. I think he probably killed all the filtering power of my sand bed, allowing the nutrient levels to spike. That combined with aging bulbs and I had an outbreak.

He lived for about 7 months before I looked in and he was dead. I don't think he actually starved, as there was no sign of disintegration, but it just wasn't a good situation for him or my tank.
