Well I think I'm going to move the rest of my fish into the DT today.... I had planned to do it in two more phases over the next month, but that new regal is huge and just isn't coexisting with the multi bars well and I need the tank space to separate them.
I'm a bit nervous about taxing my display tank with a big increase in bio load, but I think it's the only option I've got. Luckily I have a huge skimmer. I'm just going to stay on top of water changes, more so than normal.
On the plus side, I'll have all my fish in the display tank.:worried:

There is another place I won't mention in Moraine, they may have a few packs of it. If you want to wait a month or so, I'll email Larry about doing a group buy between you and I, not sure what his minimums are though.
Yeah, I wouldn't worry about it. That skimmer looks like it can handle things in *cough* angeltown *cough, cough*

Haha yes I know that place... John is a ***** and they hardly carry the stuff as it is. I can't stand walking into that place with unhealthy fish and at least a 100% markup on livestock

Everybody is moved, I'll take some pictures today or tomorrow, maybe a video too. Much closer to butterfly town now, but my current quarantine inhabitants will quickly change that once they're added.
I'm hopeful the skimmer and water changes will mitigate any shock to the biological filter.
I don't buy fish there, but stop in from time to time. It's really gone down hill since he fired most of his employees a year and a half ago.
Awesome! Looking forward to pics!
Don't truthfully know. I think he has a policy of not shipping directly to customers, but I think his website says that if there aren't any options locally that he'll work with you.
I know red has bought directly from him before and Larry is a great guy to work with. I would imagine that if the order was big enough, he'd do it.

You can't imagine the amount of food I go through!
Ha! Get ready buddy.... I don't know what you are used to, but butterflies "taking small bites" is going to be a thing of the past with most. The amount of food they consume makes me wonder how they keep their girlish figure
My other comment would be.... just because you have "delicate" eaters, doesn't mean the tank won't feel it. Add a puffer and trigger to the mix.... yikes, get that water change schedule updated. I'm telling you.... my butterflies and angels poop the water enough. I can't even imagine a "messy" eater like a puffer or trigger in the mix. Just saying.... be prepared.
The puffer and trigger have been in the mix for a while now. My trigger has been with me for almost 4 years, it doens't seem to grow longer, just wider.
I think Tangs are actually some of the messiest poopers around. My PBT used to crap everywhere. It was like I would feed him some algae, he'd eat it, and then 5 minutes later it would be back in the water column.
