What's your experience been like with the striped damsel? I've heard nothing but negative things about these fish but i *still* want a few in my tank. I imagine if they scrap it's a problem with smaller fish but tangs should have nohing to worry about right?

The way your corals are evenly growing up reminds me of that scene in star wars where the compacter is about to crush everyone. The fish will be in really shallow water soon at the rate you seem to be growing these sticks!

well, the striped damsel i got after seeing a pic of Iwan's tank of switzerland, its insane, and he had a SD there. so i went out and got one, i really like the color of the fish, and he has been good, other than biting me everytime i get close to his nest, and darts at the other smaller fish every once in awhile, doesnt bother with the tangs.
if i had a choice to keep or remove him, i would remove him and have tired to get him out in the past, with no luck. so its up to you if u want to try one or a few. i think the more you have the more the battle would be on, IMHO.

and yeah, the sticks are growing alot.

i found that 15-16 inches from the light i get the best growth.

Your tank is looking awesome!

I just saw it not that long ago, and it is looking even better now which I didn't think was possible!

Looking great as usual John. How is your Sohal tang behaving? Any aggresion towards the others?
