It's been 10 weeks since the fish started the QT process, so time for an update. The fish have been back in the displays for 2 weeks now and there is no sign of disease.

Here is a link to those who did not make it http://s261.photobucket.com/albums/i...view=slideshow

Just before 8 weeks were up I put the reef fish (checkerboard wrasse, 2 chromis, CBB, & sohal tang) back (they were getting beat up badly by my king angel and lunare wrasse) needless to say their nips/wounds are mostly healed and they are much happier now.

While this was happening (these new fish were spread out over the past month) we bought and QT'd some new fish (2 skunk clowns, mandarin goby, tail spot blenny, blonde naso tang, blue ring angel & imperator angel) as well as we got some fish (yellow watchman goby, regal tang, foxface, 2 clownfish, starki damsel and pistol shrimp) given to us for free from a fellow canreef member G1GY (Gary) which ended up in a fruitful trip to Calgary where we bought a miniatus grouper, pyramid butterfly and a bicolour parrotfish. These fish are finished QT and I split them up into their proper tanks and after I let them settle in for a few days I put the king angel, lunare wrasse and bursa trigger back.

I'm happy to say that for the most part everyone is getting along. My checkerboard does chase my YWG (yellow watchman goby) but for the most part the YWG hides really well and the checkerboard leaves him alone. My King angel passively chases my Imperator and Blue ring around but for the most part he leaves them alone. The odd thing is that my somewhat shy (hides whenever I get to close to the tank) miniatus grouper seems to hate my lunare wrasse. He chases and I guess nips at the lunare since the lunare has some nipped fins, but it doesn't seem like he wants to eat him (the lunare's pretty big so I'm not sure the grouper would try to) it just seems like he can't stand him, but I have no clue as to why. Guess the lunare now knows how the checkerboard felt, however if it gets to bad I'll probably sell the lunare, if I can catch him.

Here's pictures of the reef fish (minus the YWG and the pistol shrimp who are to good at hiding right now to get a pic. of) http://s261.photobucket.com/albums/i...view=slideshow

Here's pictures of the FOWLR fish http://s261.photobucket.com/albums/i...view=slideshow

I will get full tank shots later on when the lights come on, and I will update my signature as well.
