I love that orange back wrasse. Once I've moved house and got my tank sorted I am going on a wrasse finding mission.

Thanks, just thanks...you have to go and post pics of these cool wrasses and I think, damn, those are nice....I haven't added anything to my tanks in months, and think some wrasses sure would be great additions....added 2!

They will be a great addition to your tank once they are done qt, they are gorgeous!!! Make sure your tanks are covered as eventually they WILL jump!!

+1. With wrasses it's not a matter of if, it's a matter of when. Heck, any fish can jump out of a tank if it really wanted to. I know of tanks that have had Tangs and large Angelfish jump out of them.

I finally covered mine, I've had clowns, wrasses, hogfish and my trigger jump. Others have simply just vanished..., missing 2 anthias and a blenny.

+1 to covering fish tanks specially if wrasses are present.

I finally covered my tank a few weeks ago and could not be happier since the boogers jump on regular basis and I only have 3 wrasses (fairy solar, carpenters and cleaner)


Good looking fish you got there Greg.

Why are you cutting your GFO in half Greg?

I'm having issues with bleaching and can't get enough food into the tank through fish poop and coral feeding, and changing my lighting hasn't helped
I don't want to remove my socks yet, so this is my next best idea

Hope to see you Sept 1st BTW

I should mention that Albert Dao suggested I do this many months ago, but I was afeared of an algae bloom. But now it's a the next best thing to try
So, thanks Albert

That's interesting. I've actually been hearing a few cases recently of people cutting back or stopping GFO all together. Seems like the trendy thing to do these days. I should try that.

I've gone without GFO before and would prefer running less or none when ever possible. I think that would help to reduce the amt of green sticks too, at least in my old set up.
