Default Phase 1 almost complete!

I won't be a smart ass about it. I'm seriously curious how the banana
wrasse work for you. I'm interested but read they aren't reef safe so I'm
want to hear from a few others.

G'luck,

Ok the banana is still staying a bit shy!!
They do seem to be quite reef friendly, BUT they are said to kill urchins
and shrimp/crabs
I now have 12 more marine tanks, most are 2 footers but they are all cycled
w000000t!!!
have me spotted cubes and soon a cuttle for da 4 footer!
only thing that never came was the purple anthias (male squamipinnis)
so I only got the 2 girls swimming around (hoping for a male in about a week
so fingers crossed it's soon enuf)
good news on the anthias is that they took protien aquaculture pellets
(barramundi) on the first feed about 5 hours after realise from bag.
the pellets were for the damsels but yea, made me very happy to see it
eating!
Is already a nice tank, will pull 10 of the blue damsels out when my chromis
come in
then it's time for a coral beauty I think, or maybe a foxface
early days still and at this point
all is well
but yea
early days!!
oh and I care about my fish, when theres a problem I WILL spend 2 hours
pulling rock out if I have too.
It's what I do.
so far so good
