Lots of people have luck with them, so don't just give up because i don't For, I'm getting a school of Vanderbilt Chromis, hopefully easier to keep.
However, Anthias do like room, and keeping more than one might end up with one anyway in a tank your size.

Also, my bad luck is with Lyretails, maybe because they're easy? I had a school of Bartletts that did quite well for a year before I killed them.

Brad I've also had horrible experiences with Anthias as well, The only Anthias I can keep alive is the Sunburst. Others just seem to slowly disappear, perhaps I am not feeding enough.....

Quick question, how much pozdown are you dosing and how are you dosing it? (ie, ato?) Thanks!

when I need it, I just add 1 drop per 10g into the overflow. Works well. If you were going to use it full time, Tim suggests adding to your top off water. I can't do that since my top off is directly plumbed into the house.

Gotcha, Thanks!
I'm currently sitting at around 0.03 po4 as well like you, just wanted to play with ULNS and see if some pieces would change. Tim gets amazing colors, however he is under halides so that's not fair
