evolved's Wrasse & Reef Tank (Old)

Of course sir.

I'm sure we could work something out. Let me know if your ever headed this way.

Thank you.

 

Very nice thanks for sharing.
Great tank you've got.

 

Thanks for posting these! Your first pictures really didn't do your tank justice, it seems about 10 times bigger now Great collection of corals and fish you have there.

 

Thanks!

Thanks?
But really, thanks for the nice words.

I suppose I never mentioned the size of the tank in this thread thus far. It's a 120gal tank, 60" x 20" x 24".

 

Well, a few changes, due to new frags

Moved the torch from the center to back by the skimmer pump, to make room for the Texas Stunner and the Palmer's Milli:


But to put the gold torch in that position, I had to move these guys (which I forgot to take a picture of before). Yes, these are purple hornits, and yes, they're not happy right now from being moved:


When I had my camera connected to my computer I remembered I had some more fish pictures on it which I didn't upload for my last update. So here's a few more pictures of the wrasses:

Male Flame:


Female Flame:


Together:


Lineatus:




Scott's:


Melanurus (and female ocellaris):


Canary:

 

The Lineatus is a great wrasse, my favorite for sure. How long have you had the yellow coris wrasse? Those have to be one of the fastest growing fish I've ever kept. Great for keeping planaria flat worms in check.

 

Thank you. He's my favorite as well.

The canary wrasse (I won't call them a yellow coris as that name is misleading; they are NOT a coris genus) has been in my system since sometime in September. He is growing quickly but doesn't seem quicker then the rest of the wrasses. They're great for a lot of things. I added him to control my amphipod population (as the species I had would eat zoanthids) and to add some yellow to the tank.

 

Great pictures! I love the harmony in your tank. LOL Very nice!

 

Thank you Kacy.

The harmony can be relative at times though.

 

Yes, you are correct that they are not "coris wrasses" I think they eat non stop, all day long, if it's you feeding the fish, or him just picking at the rocks, glass, sand, etc....I had to get rid of mine, because he was the one wrasse, who always slept in the sand, all my other wrasses always wedged into the rocks. So when I went bare bottom, I saw him get a headache, diving for the bottom, and ended up trapping him to give away. How long did it take for you to grow all those PH polyps?
