    I was going to build something out of acrylic with zip ties and what not but your box is awesome! I might steal another 3reefer's suggestion and use a dremel for slits too but I'm sure the wholes are just fine! Thanks for bringing this to my attention! (might be getting something wicked in this week)

    Also, I really like your tank!

    Yes. I thought about adding slits, however, because the acrylic is quite thin, it may damage the enclosure. I'll probably add some holes to the bottom once this acclimation has been completed.

    I wouldn't be able to add another wrasse, at least not in the same Family, without the acclimation box. A few months ago I was able to snag a particular wrasse that I've been waiting for for quite some time, a large Radiant Wrasse. The Christmas wrasse wouldn't lay off of him for 3 days, and by the time he did, the Radiant was in such poor shape that he couldn't swim around for extended periods of time. Unfortunately, he didn't make it. =/


    I appreciate the feedback. =)

    Here's a few shots of the saltwater storage area.

    Two 32 Gallon Rubbermaid trash cans for making and mixing water. The right, is for RO/DI and an exit for top-off water. The water is pumped from the right to the left, where salt is mixed and an exit for water changing.
