I've never seen a Coris that doesn't sleep in the sand.

I guess it could be possible, but unlikely.

ill give it a lil tupperware hidden behind the rocks, that should make it happy.

I'd be more concerned about the Coris wrasse jumping out than finding a suitable place to sleep. Are you planning on putting a mesh cover over the top to prevent this? I know it doesn't look as nice as a completely open-top tank, but you could easily remove it when guests come over to admire the tank.

I knew when i added the wrasse everyone would worry about it jumping, i think a screen like terrys might work for me, but it would really ruin the open look, i will have to think about it.


i have never had anything covering my old tank and i had a wrasse in my last tank for almost a year, until it died/jumped while i was on vacation and i came home to it gone.

Cool new fish :thumbsup: Black stripe chromis are cool When i had mine they would just wander round the tank seperately like the tank clowns :lol:

That's what RC is for, so that others can worry for you!

ConcreteReefer if it's a bacterial bloom, just toss a UV on there and it should clear up overnight.

 

[GSMguy]

his tank is pretty clear mike i just saw pics in his thread.

I am not supposed to use UV with my fancy rock filtration...

my tank gets clearer by the hour. i think by the weekend i will have some nice crystal clear water.

 

[BreadmanMike]

Just wait... once it clears up it will look like everything is floating in the tank. That's one of the biggest reason I went with acrylic.

I've had one wrasse jump in 9 years and it was on the 4th of July... go figure.

 

[GSMguy]

my old tank with hang on everything was all microbubbles this one is 100% clear its amazing 0 microbubbles

i cant wait for the water to clear up.

 

[BreadmanMike]

Even with the hazy water it still looks awesome.

 

[GSMguy]

my wrasse Sandbox 7x3x3.5 ceramic dish.

hope the wrasse finds it

 

[kar93]

Cool idea with the Wrasse sandbox. I hate to say but i noticed a small aptasia under that leather.

 

[GSMguy]

aptasia is nothing to worry about

my last tank was taken over by Mojano tulip anemones that are absolutely horrible.


i think instead of another tang a Copper Banded Butterfly would be a good fish for me to pick up anyway.

 

[kar93]

Ugh, I hate Majano's. CBB's are a nice fish. Apparently, If you feed the aiptasia the food that the CBB eats then it will go after the food in the aiptasia and eat the aiptasia.

 

[BreadmanMike]

Reeftopia peppermints rock if you decide to go that route.

As far as the wrasse, how could he miss that toilet bowl I mean bowl of sand. :lol:

Honestly though, that little bit of sand will be good for the tank.

 

[GSMguy]

i took the sand from my 3 year old DSB in my 20l

hide your eyes mike deep sand ahead and it is FILTHY

The only light on this tank is a crusty 2 year old coralife 10k 65w pc
