110g Mixed Reef V2

[Snappy]

Once the chromis get into the new bigger tank they will behave differently and likely do a lot of spawning with less fighting. At least that was how they behaved in my tank.

All 7 of mine sleep in my blue digi and there's minimal fighting. Bought 7 and have 7. They swim mostly together or in 2 groups. Maybe it's the large tang or the fast wrasses but they're still schooling and behaving. Keeping my fingers crossed.

Steve at RCE has a crosshatch pair

Is cross-talk allowed between spouses ???
I mean, come on, isn't this supposed to be a build thread ???

Also sounds to me like someone is lookin' for some fish from their "room mate"



Ya, I'm evil

ya she has already said stuff like "ya buy that fish so I can enjoy him in your tank


so, yesterday was D-day for my SPS.....I moved probably 95% of it up to E-town and also took the 25g and stand.....Im happy to report that when Laurie and I went back to Red Coral E-town today everything looked just as it should.....*breeths sigh of relief*.....no RTNs so far.....now for the next phase.....fish, rock and zoos......this worries me even more.....I have two or thee fish that I can not loose .......my leopard wrasse was given to me by a close friend here, my powder blue came from a tank shut down and is the most perfect PBT I have ever seen...some of you my know that "powder" tangs had given me fits in my reef career... I had killed a half a dozen of them over the years and had actually sworn of trying again until this fish came into the store......and "Chevy", my big lumbering dumb arse chevron tang....he was one of the first fish I added after the tank crashed and Ive seen him through his color change and get to almost 6" now....I would be upset if I lost anything but devastated if I lost any of these three.....which brings me to a conundrum.....Steve at RCE has offered to temporarily house all my fish in the QT system until I feel the big tank is ready....now, the problem is this, and I dont want to seem in any unappreciative of Steve's offer but the though of all my fish in smallish tanks that have likely had some sketchy fish(health wise) in them doesnt entirely make me feel comfy........but the big tank isnt ready yet and Im worried about dumping 150lbs of LR that has just been moved three hours into a tank that has 100lbs of rock in it that isnt fully cycled yet along with my fish......I have a whole 30 vial set of "prodibio start" that I had intended for this very purpose but I am skeptical of using it.....what whould you do?

that would be neat.....Ive been toying with the idea of adding more to the group when they go int the big tank, but then I talk myself out of it.....this group started with thirteen fish and within a couple months they whittled themselves down to five.....this five have been five for a few months now, so Im kinda nervous about messing with things.... given the track record of these fish Im pretty stoked that I have five, instead of one, like most people seem to end up with......but then I think, "ya five look cool, but fifteen would be awesome!......

Doug in the new tank with lots of room they act more naturally and you could likely keep 15-20 no problem.
