Quick question i have a 180 SPS reef and have about 5 different fairy wrasses, labouti, lineatus, flame, rhomboid, and orangeback. I plan on adding maybe 1 more,
my question to you is, how do those tangs get along with the wrasses? i have heard people actually quite a bit of people say that there tangs haev killed thier expensive wrasses? Some people even said they co-existed for awhile then one day the tang just started chasing the fish which lead to disease then death. i was acutally thinking of getting that desjardinii salfin like you have. what are your thoughts on this? also how big is that harlquin tusk with smaller fish? i was thinking about getting one, but decided not to because of my small clown fish? thanks for taking the time to answer my questions, and what a GREAT tank! what size tank are you going for in your upgrade? thanks! Nick |

What an honor to be tank of the month. Hard work equals success. Thanks for the tour. Quick question, you wrote -
"Initially, I included a 2" to 3" deep sandbed consisting entirely of Southdown play sand. What a mistake that was! I have been trying to get rid of all that sand for quite some time now. While it may have served a purpose for the first year or so, all it has done lately is cause lots of headaches. I've found that the Southdown sand kills the edges on many of my Echinophyllia and significantly retards their growth. " I have only heard encouraging comments about using Southdown sand. Actually, this is the first negative feedback I have read. Can you give us more details about the problem as you see it? |

Awsome tank. I always look froward to the tank of the Month. I always like the deeper tanks (front to back).
