    Yeah, thanks a lot! I watched the video again and I couldn't tell you which to get rid of, they are all nice fish. Plus, the fact that all seems well (I don't know how long the whole group has been together), you may now just want to manage the tank the way it is. I would suggest some live bacteria dosing at double the marine dose. Use a multi-species product like Super-Bac. I would also use a little Prime once a month along with Marine-Max by Tropical Science. Those three measures should ensure good health for the fish. Go sparingly on the amount and frequency of feedings.

    Very Nice tank!

    Any problems with your Chromis picking each other off?

    I would get rid of the chromis if you wanted to cut back since there are so many of them, I noticed 3 tangs in there... Is that a naso tang or powder brown tang I saw in the corner?

    From my previous exp's with tangs they need a lot of swimming space. My yellow was the more dominant one and would occasionally bully my Hippo Tang so he would hide more.

    Overall loving the tank!
