My 315 upgrade / rebuild

[Rus]

Thanks , as far as Goldflake so far so good...... he's eating well on most foods I put in , and with all my Anthias in the tank it is fed at least 3 to 4 times a day , so hoping this will limit his picking on too many corals . Goldflakes have not "too bad" a rap for picking on corals , and I wanted a few angels in my tank so though I would give it a go. Time will tell I guess.

Thought I would try to keep a small progress report on some new fish that I have in Quarentine. Last week I picked up 13 Red Spt Cardinals from Paul at Oceanic Corals . They had been in for about 3 to 4 days at his shop , and all 13 were doings well , and eating almost everything he had put in. I have had them at home now in Quarentine for 5 days and all are eating , flake , cyclopeeze and small mysis . If all goes well I plan to give them 2 to 3 weeks and fatten them up a bit before trying them in my Main Tank.

I know some people , myself included have had a hard time being successful with these , which is why I thought I would let people know how I make out , hoping it all goes well , as they add some a cool part to any tank in my opinion.I will try to update every few weeks to amonth at the beginning for anyone interested

Couple of pics today , ( very quick so hard to get many in a pic )

I love those guys and yours look awesome. Good luck, will be following your progress with them as I'd love to try some myself some day..

I will try to update every few weeks for now , and let you know how I make out. They are being fed 4 or more time a day to start , as I want to make sure once they are introduced to Main tank they will be strong enough to compete for food , as they will have over 30 tank mates to compete against.Most are quite docile fish as well , but a few are a little more aggressive sp better safe than sorry.

Keep my fingers crossed , as they have always been a favorite of mine , mostly because of the schooling , or shoaling effect they can give a tank but they add a different aspect to the tank as well.
