Thanks :-) I got lucky with the 4 stripe. He's not aggressive towards anyone in the tank. Never has. Even new additions. However, he hates it when I put my hand in the tank and will attack me.

Am not home a lot these days (back country floatflying and hiking), but just had a quick browse of canreef, and had a look at your tank and corals. Needless to say, I am severely jealous once again. I like how you put names to your corals, too. Wish everyone would do that.

Solutions are easy. The real difficulty lies in discovering the problem.

With the help of Kien's mentoring I was also able to keep a peaceful 4-stripe in my previous aquarium. One of my favorite fish for sure.

Yup, you just have to roll the dice. The trick is finding the right dice to roll.

Default More Full Tank Top Downs

So played around with more top downs of the tank. This time I slapped on my polarizer as suggested previously. This actually did help a lot. It didn't eliminate the glare completely but reduced it by 50% at least.



It is definitely a cool perspective and my favourite view of the tank for sure.













===============

In other news, as I was viewing the tank with my trusty "The Grizz Welding" LED flashlight last night I spotted one of those nasty Eunicid worms. NASTY! I haven't noticed any loss in fish or bite marks on my corals so I don't know if he/she/it is causing any harm at the moment. Still, I need to come up with a plan to remove him/her/it before he/she/it turns into a 4 foot kraken. NASTY!
