Will do. Any ideas on flow level for recovery?

 

SPS's are flow junkies!! BUT I would say moderately gentle with a recovery "victim". For a reference I have 2 K nano's and 2 K 1's aimed right at the suckers and I still think they want more...lol

 

No, I know they like the flow. The were catching the koralia and the AC70 where they were before.

 

hmmm, might be too much flow and just a bit too much light, I would imagine the coralites are really stressed from the move and everything. But on a plus that red monti digi looks fantastic! Might be ready for fraggin' when he gets nice and settled Monti's are super great beginner sps's, and some are really colorfull! I dig em'!

 

*New Addition*

I have been missing the personality void my blenny left big time. After doing some studying and observing, I decided to go with a Six Line Wrasse.








And some other random shots of my hippo and clowns:

 

very nice! That hippo looks FAT!

How is the Birdsnest doing?

 

LOL, yeah it is. That fish definitely never misses a meal ;D I took these pics just after feeding though too. The scary thing is, is that the clowns are actually quite a bit fatter than the hippo, just you can never tell by the pics. The mandarin is getting up there too. One of the pics on here, when its by the GSP's, you can see its belly hanging down ;D My fish are definitely not deprived of a healthy variety of foods
The birdsnest looks like it might be getting a little better. Tough to tell yet though. I will give it a while down on the bottom, its only been there a day or two.

 

Hey man I dont know if you know this but your tank smells like fish.

 

That hippo really is fat. FATTY!!! You have a fat tank. Or should I say phat?

I love my six-line. even though he is quite aggressive to any newcomers that are smaller than he is. He adds some movement and color, and some personality to the tank though. And gets rid of lots and lots of pests we don't want, like bristle worms! I've personally seen him kill and eat part of one worm, and kill another. Didn't eat it. But I haven't seen a bristle worm in that tank for a long time now.

My friend is trying a Mandarin in a 29. I'm kind of hoping that it doesn't work out, cause then I'll trade him the blenny he gave us for the mandarin. I want a mandarin, and your huge success in a 40 makes me want one in our 46 even more. Good ole bucket o' pods.

 

Unfortunately, the six line passed away last night. Did some testing and what not and everything is fine. That makes the last 4 things I have gotten from my LFS has died within 48 hours, and its not my tank. It sucks, but I feel I might stop shopping there anymore. I will either order all my stuff from here on out or take trips out of state for livestock.
But best of luck with the mandarin! Message me if you need any help getting it to eat prepared or setting up a bucket o pods
