435 in wall DT up and running again

I wish it will have some neon bright yellow like yours sir
Do you know if you can keep more than one ?

I don't know. Mine can be a bit of a bully sometimes to the other wrasses. No harm done, but he will push his weight around. I want to put in a pair of candy cane basslets but am afraid he won't like them. Too expensive to experiment!
 
I have a question about maintenance for this large of a tank. I'm considering upgrading my 100gallon sometime. If I were to go up to 500gallon, does the maintenance cost simple cost 5x more? (cost of chemicals, salt, water, electricity, food, etc combined). or would you say it's much cheaper. I have heard that larger volume = more stability.. which means less dosing and less WC. not sure if true.

I figured out the initial expense already. Just trying to get a grip on monthly costs.

thanks

Not necessarily
Equipment can be expensive so as the livestock but you don't have to have high end everything. Not everyone have WAYNE's budget ( just kidding buddy) lol

Electricity is your biggest challenge with big tank. As far as cleaning it takes me 15 minutes to clean the tank every 3-4 days including water change if you plan it right.
I am super busy with my kids activities so i dont have a lot of time doing maintenance but i spend a lot of time enjoying my humble tank.

my friend have trio of Feminus , chaoti and other sensitive wrasse with his giant opercularis and I have few small tamarins and leopards without issue. i think it will be ok but no guarantee...
 
I'll definitely try the femininus at some point. He doesn't bother my choati, or fairy wrasses at all. The candy basslets seem pretty meek and shy though.
 
Aaron has a bonded pair of candies. He got them from MedRed who had them for like 3 years. They're super healthy and personable. They didn't hide at all when I was staring at them. They just stared back! I'm so tempted to get them myself but I want to wait a bit longer for my system to break in. If he still has them in a few weeks, I may break down and buy them!

Those are the ones I have my eye on!! The male is stunning and to have a pair would be awesome. They were out in the open a fair amount, but there aren't alot of fish in there with them. If you want dibs on them Wayne, just say so and I'll stop lusting after them!

lol...no dibs. In fact you'd be doing my wife a favor if you bought them! ;)
