that's a cool wrasse, we put a 6line in ours and it added so much character and movement. blue had some pretty nice 7 line ones today.

thanks man! I went by blue the other day but nobody answered the door lol I like 7 lines

Yay! Hope he makes the trip ok!

me too! I didn't think it through but how is yours with crabs and shrimps? I will house him temporarily in the 20 till the 10 is cycled but I have a cleaner and a few hermits in the 20 lol

Both of my clowns fins are ripped!!!! This Midas is seriously being a punk! I'm thinking of adding a sixline to calm aggression and I've always wanted one! Any thoughts? I'm pretty pissed because my clowns cost more than the damn blenny

Wow that's crazy! My Midas is completely not aggressive with any of his tank mates!

It ####### jumped!! I found it today :( time for a screen lid

Yeah Midas - and generally all blennies are known jumpers. Mine has hit the screen top more than a few times :(

 

Sorry about the Blenny.

Fitzgerald (my PSW) doesn't bother anything. They're small and a little bit shy. Fitzgerald spent most of his time hiding in the back rocks for the first couple months, but then he started coming out regularly. Now he's out almost all the time.

yea I was bummed for a while but I think I'm gonna get a nice little tail spot for the 10, the tang is so pretty and eats like a champ recently started feeding rods fish food and my fish go nuts! Love that stuff! I also added a mesh lid so there's a love hate relationship with that lol

so awesome! He will be perfect in the 10 then, where he can be seen more easily

So thinking of adding easier colorful branching sps in the middle of the rockwork, any ideas? Thinking pocillopora, birds nest, ect. The more colorful variants of course, how demanding are they element wise? I have kits and dosing additives, actually thinking of hooking up a doser by Christmas time, thanks is advance guys!

Stylos are super easy and they're pretty. Either green or purple look really good.

 

Any SPS that's happy will grow fast and suck up lots of alk. But I did manual dosing, once a day, for months after I first needed to dose. The corals did fine with manual dosing, it was me that couldn't handle it :happy:


Here's a picture of my old 4g tank with the green stylo I had in it. It was pretty much unkillable :)
