    Ok, so the LFS is going to help me out since I didn't even have my six-line for 24 hours before it died. All other inhabitants doing well by the way. I'm going this morning and the LFS is going to hook me up with another six-line. Hope this one works out better than the one sitting in my freezer right now... Any thoughts? Tank is cycled by the way. SG between 1.024 and 1.025 PH right around 8.3. Ammonia, nitrite, and nitrate all 0.

    how did you acclimate? I generally put the bag in the sump for approximatly 30 min to get the temp right. then put fish and water in a bucket and slowly drip water from my aquarium to the bucket to get the new live stock used to the parimaters of my aquarium before introducing them to my tank. the drip usually last for approximatly 1 to 1 1/2 hrs. I will top off my aquarium water before hand and have "fresh" saltwater ready to put back in the tank and not reuse my acclimation water by putting back in the tank. kinda like doing a mini water change. before starting to acclimate this way I would just put the bag in the tank to get the temp right and dump the livestock in and would lose fish pretty quickly. Once I changed I have had more success with live stock. You are also lucky to have a LFS that will hook you up with the wrasse. No stores in my area do that, once you buy it is yours.

    Is the date in your signature the date you setup this tank?
