Photos delivered 😉 Mmmm I don't know probably about maxed sized 2.5" or so. Such great color out of a little fish! 17 hours ago, Ratvan said: Four line is indeed a pretty fish, hows the forgotten damsel? Happy and unforgotten 🙂 Quote Link to comment
M&C Posted November 22, 2019 Share Posted November 22, 2019 Great pics! Bold fish selection too, I like it. I’m interested to see how they all get along, I think all but the flame angel are known to have an attitude. You planning on adding any more? I think a splash of yellow would complement everything nicely, maybe a yellow watchman goby or midas blenny. 1 Quote Link to comment

You mean like this guy 😉 You can see them photo bombing bottom left 😄 And yes the tank is full of "Richards" at the moment no aggression whatsoever. They all get along great and I feed pretty regularly too. They all have their territory and respected space. As the Maroons are already paired and basically mated I do not see them becoming any more aggressive either (except to my hand...ouch) 7 1 1 Quote Link to comment

I feel your pain on the clown nibbles too, one of mine drew blood last week when I was changing water. Don’t they know who feeds them?? 2 Quote Link to comment

Matteo Posted November 23, 2019 Author Share Posted November 23, 2019 Would you guys believe me if I told you I never test my water? I have 0 clue what my params are except for salinity and temp. Everything looks good though 🤷♂️ 2 1 Quote Link to comment
Poodges Posted November 23, 2019 Share Posted November 23, 2019 Looking great. I rarely test either besides salinity check and temp. The tank will tell you if there is an issue. Love your setup. 3 1 Quote Link to comment

I mean realistically if you are routine driven like me your tank should never have an issue. 1 Quote Link to comment

Matteo Posted December 1, 2019 Author Share Posted December 1, 2019 Should I give it a full send and snag a second Nero 5? Looking at @teenyreef IM40 (inspiration) I notice the dual mp10s and figured my tank could greatly benefit from the cross flow and basically eliminate all dead spots. Just not sure if I want to drop that kind of coin over a nice coral. Granted I can always grab the coral later... 1 Quote Link to comment
Matteo Posted December 1, 2019 Author Share Posted December 1, 2019 Also... Lfs is doing a raffle for an RS170. I have a a handful of tickets in. That would be a nice upgrade 😁👀🤞 They draw on the 21st. 2 Quote Link to comment
teenyreef Posted December 1, 2019 Share Posted December 1, 2019 In the long run you'll be glad for the second circulation pump. I have a Rossmont M1500 in the back corner in addition to the two MP-10's, and I've thought about upgrading one of the MP-10's to an MP-40 Or maybe I could just get rid of the frag racks, which would improve the circulation by about the same amount and cost a lot less... 1 Quote Link to comment

That's what I feel like. No regrets sort of thing once added. Asking LFS if my rewards program can go towards and order one since they're $225 now 1 Quote Link to comment
Elizabeth94 Posted December 1, 2019 Share Posted December 1, 2019 Awesome feeding video. That damsel adds nice contrast. My favorite fish in my old tank was a simple blue damsel. Such a pretty and active fish. Id say you'd only benefit the tank if you added another nero. Can always keep it dialed down a bit for now. Once those sps start growing more they'd appreciate the extra flow. Right now I don’t have a lot of coral in my new build but I have two neros set up anti synch. They kick up everything when I turn them back on after feeding. Love these pumps 1 Quote Link to comment
