What do you mean, "I took a bunch of fish out recently and replaced them, so now I have (in order of addition)"..?

How does one do that?

Things look good, BTW.

you know, I know they're just sort of "run - o - the - mill" in terms of SPS.....but birdsnests gotta be one of my favorite corals of all time.

Thanks for the comments everyone, and Randi I agree! Birdnests are my favourite, and I am regretting giving away my "plain ole" pink birdnest in my tank redesign.

Thanks Mitch. Well, the Percula Clownfish was easy to catch, she's not scared of the net, so I just scooped her out. The other fish I caught when I redid my tank a couple weeks ago. Which reminds me, I should have poster before and after photos.

So, a little history...on Sept 10 I decided to rip my reef apart, redo aquascaping (for better flow), remove some fish I couldn't catch, remove a Eunicid worm, and give away some corals because there were just too many!

As per this thread, here is my result.

Sept 10:




Sept 11:






And then, notice the growth a month later. Check out the top rock on the left. It has the blue polyp pink birdnest, a tabling green and blue Acro, the blue deepwater Acro, and the pink w/ green iridescence birdnest too. Almost an inch in a month on some pieces! I think they like the changes! That dang Caulerpa is really outta control though! Now I can't wait to get my new lighting going.

My Sharknose was up to something weird...I think he has been watching my Jawfish too much!

Oh, and ignore the f'ugly SPS on the right. That's called a bad case of "fallen and forgotten"!

how do you find the sps and sofites together? Any issues. I love the green softie you have on the right side of the tank!

Hey Chris, I can tell you that my SPS got a lot better coloration when I removed the Zoas into their own tank even though I was running quite a bit of carbon to try to conquer the chemical warfare. I may find I need to remove or trim down the GSP at some point since surprisingly it known to be one of the more chemically aggressive corals. The green softie on the right is a Palau Nepthea.
