i had achilles, PBT and power brown all together in the beginning all about same sizes and introduced at same time. boy did they go crazy over each other. the PBT murdered the powder brown till he cant swim anymore after few hours, then the achilles and PBT went at it and of course both died in the process.

Actually, no.
I'm pretty bummed. I ordered them last Thursday and they still haven't arrived.
I contacted the vendor (who shall remain nameless) and he apologized for the slow shipping, but thats about it.
My package didn't even show up as "in the mailstream" until last night.....
Should be here by Friday, but I've no update on the tracking info

They're doing great!
Still eating like pigs, and no aggression
They both have a little ich, but IME with low stress , water changes and time it will always go away. I just have to make sure they keep eating
The corals are doing well too. My green slimer is really coloring back up, and now that my fiance is gone, I've been able to get the params stable where they need to be. My system is very new still, and this is my first round at keeping an sps reef. Gotta long road ahead
I'm planning on adding a SB now to help buffer the water. Whether it s a ssb in the display or DSB in the sump is all I'm trying to decide on.
I decided to hold off on the lineatus pair, as I really want a super male first and foremost, and one wasn't guaranteed.
Can't wait to get the new skimmer and Ca-Rx though!!!

Honestly, my fish really took to it.
My male Anthias who only eats fresh shrimp didn't go for it though. He won't even eat PE mysis half the time.
It looked like a mixture of small and large spectrum pellets with some flake in there too. Maybe some flake cyclop-eeze?
I'm buy some down the line and give it a run, but I really don't have much of need for it now. Everyone's eating fine w/out it. But I also tend to feed a lot of fresh stuff I get up whole foods. Shrimp, squid, scallops. Stuff like that. I'll rotate stuff during the day. Pellets in the morning, shrimp and nori at night.... then something different in the morning.

Yeah, I dont switch around too much. I usally fee PE and Cyclpeze flakes. Seems like fish like both alot. Ran out of PE and AL didnt have the size i wanted so i got a thing of SF bay omega brine. They all seem to go nuts for it. Last week i bought some live brine from AL that was a big hit also! But my Flakes are almost gone so thought i would try the BZ stuff
