Yep, I had my FT coming off the DT and just separated it two weeks ago...I started a new cycle for this tank as I think its more beneficial to have two separate stable systems

Its going to be a pain dosing in both tanks (but got that covered already)
I'm going to read that thread you posted to understand these bugs a little better.

Found a bunch of great scores at wais.. Had 10 sexy shrimp, now none :) new wrasses pics to come

Your red coris wrasse is going to appreciate those little snacks. Tasty little morsels of crustacean goodness :lol:

the maori wrasse could crush one with its gills im pretty sure, they are for the 30g, has 15 now i think...pretty hard to find sometimes. Im also trying to transfer some acros to tthis system to see if these black bugs can be separated by fragging, so far they look much happier in here...

anyway this tank has become the coral recovery tank i guess, I have 5 x 24w t5's, little skimmer, some loose carbon and maybe a tablespoon of biopellets to keep things clean for now..

To the big tank I added a yellow tail and blue spotted wrasse,

A few wrasse ago I gave up on a clean up crew. Surprisingly I still have maybe 5 hermits and a ton of snails that come out at night, this pukani rock has tons of hiding spots. Found a hitch hiking short spine urchin the other day...

As myka would say im nucking futs, got another regal ;) smaller, indonesian...floating in sump.. super into these guys.
