    Actually I don't have the flasher anymore, it withered away shortly after I got it not sure what happened but it was the shyest flasher I ever saw. But I do have a red cardinal that replaced it.

    The blueside/ solarensis female is likely not to go, its one my wife picked out and likes. I am more worried about it messing with the hoodeds then the bio-load impact of keeping it honestly.

    Yeah 13 fish, with ~62g total water volume.... good thing I dose vinegar, vodka just started microblift special blend and run a skimmer rated up to 230g LOL

    Yeah I know, I have seen up to 350 for them even with pairs in the 400-450 range. I would guess wholesale on a male to be 125-175.... yes the 3 I was offered fall inside that range ;)

    Oh man, no way I could pass that up! But as mentioned, 13 fish is a lot for a 57...tough decision!!

    Yeah I know, it would definitely be alot of bioload. So far so good tho with the 10 I have and feeding 2-3 times daily quite generously. With the recent addition of the special lift I hope it will give me enough boost to pull it off. Worst case I have a 30g cube I could put the clowns and cardinal in to lighten things up a bit.

    I'm like 99% sure I will just go with the wrasses.

    LOL ok noted :) I had a friend that had like 15 flashers in his 180, it was amazing... but I've never had much luck with them either even in my 180. Might have been the red bugs he had that kept em all happy LOL

    Awesome. Well if you need more swimming room you can remove some corals and send them to me because you know I need them. Lol.
    Cool man. When are you going to have them in your tank?
