130 X 36 x 36 inbound...any suggestions?

Very sorry to hear this, and there is no doubt that the trials and tribulations of this hobby can be so discouraging at times. Perhaps this is why successes within the hobby are so gratifying, and why we need to lean on those successes in our moments of defeat.
 
Huma- there's not much else left to be said. I feel terrible for you. So sorry.
As I said earlier, you are definitely someone I look to for inspiration, and the guts to do things in a different way!!
I'm sure there are new highs for you, right around the corner!!
 
Wow Ted, I'm sorry to hear about your baby bandits. I know they're delicate as it is, but wc juvis like yours must be insanely difficult. I've always wanted a pair of babies too. I guess I'll have to wait for Karen to breed hers. Maybe cb juvis will be heartier.

Thanks all...Wayne, this time I did not add a fresh clam on shell and wonder if that would have helped...think it was just too stressful for them between having just been caught and then taking a plane ride, hope to try again soon...everybody else is doing well...I owe you some pics...
 
Well, I did have a nice laugh last night...as I was taking pics of the geni hybrid trio (they are in 125qt with a huge candy pair) I saw some movement in the 1 decent sized (a bit larger than a softball) piece of lr in the tank...found a royal gramma that I thought we pulled out back in jan/feb...lol, have not seen the fish in at least 4-5 months...but really, if the fish gods wanted to hook me up, let me keep the baby bandits, a royal gramma??? btw, the gramma was very happy to be out, I think t was stuck in a hole for approx. 5 months...lol...
 
ahh ! sorry to hear Ted, I know how it feels !
those were some of the smallest ones Ive seen though !

not sure if fish can get Bent like it can happen to divers ? coming from the depth and going on a plane ...

Yes, I have read that can occur but they were handled perfectly, with fish that size it can be hit or miss..I will try again...
 
I unwrapped the dt a few hours ago and it is a radically different tank with all of he activity...I saw the regal, a lot, and lol, that says a lot...the 2 big clarion seem to be tighter and the 2 smaller are not intimidated to the point of hiding...lol, even after adding all these fish, it is the 2 crosshatch that bother me..the smaller one really hates not being alpha....
here are some really nice pics...not quality but to see 4 clarion swimming without aggression, was really beautiful..

That's awesome news and YES you DO!
 
Good to see everyone doing well in the DT! Sorry about the baby bandits, hope everything with Blondie goes well! Was very happy to see everyone's favorite navarchus angel swimming in the big tank!!
