Picky like not eating all foods? or Picking on other fish?
I need to know, since if a possible mean fish, maybe Angel stays to keep Sunburst under control.

Say hello to (Sunburst Bob)
He found his new Man Cave quickly.
Bob seems like a great fish, congrats!
Also, thanks for your help with the emergency tank leveling today!

Picky as in what he eats. He's a pretty relaxed fish unless you wander into his little territory, but that's normal for all fish. Even my firefish chases my yellow assessor out of her rock.
I've been told this anthias has a deceptively small mouth, which is why you'll see some fish grab food, spit it out, and grab it again over and over.
Mine seems to only eat ONE particular type of food from LRS (LRS is a mix of bass, squid, oyster, etc etc etc) and the perfect sized mini mysis.
He stopped eating Roe, he won't eat fine powdery foods anymore (he used to love BRS reef chili), he ignores brine, he ignores all pellets and flake foods, he ignores every other type of food I've tried.
I'm at the point where I feel the need to fatten him up with phytoplankton, pods, or maybe some live foods.

Two more available, however I am leaning toward just being happy with one.
Hey, you have some amazing fish in your tank. I'm nowhere close especially since you know I love schools, and you have a University in your tank.

Copperband ICH TTM (Completed) All Healthy [Moved into FRAG TANK QT, Not DT System Yet]
He is such a Gentle fish.
For the first time EVER, I scooped him out by hand (No NET).
I took some HI-RES Photo's of both his sides. With Flash on. (Inspected Photos before Decision)
I see a healthy, NO ich Fish (that is eating Live and Frozen Food)
SO HE GOES INTO FRAG TANK (QT) with the Black Capped Basslet and Tri Color Wrasse
They all eat Frozen, and I will use the MAastick Feeder for Copperband.
Will also seed the Tank with Tiggers, and Baby Brine Shrimp (live food)

I just did, the all 3 fish are on a GOING BONKERS Feeding Frenzy
It's kind of funny seeing them all darting around and chasing Invisible food

I have Some Reef Chili. Will try some and let you know.
So he might eat powder food. Ok for the QT but, but nowhere else.
Have Almost full bottle of BRS Chilli since I stopped/Promised I won't feed Corals anymore . (At least in new tank Once the 2nd Genesis Sequence is initiated [Living Corals] ).

Wally, How often will you be feeding this Anthis?

FATHEAD Suburst Anthias (Is here) Nice Fish. Really Feisty.
So you don't get many Fish Store that Deliver to your house. CoralReefShop owner Red dropped by my house to delivery the Fathead Anthias, and two Pepermints for my Kitchen tank. He got a tour of the new Build while here.
Color of this Sunburst Anthias is pretty spectacular.
I got the medium one, there is a smaller and one larger left.
This Anthias is quite different from the last ones. Not as fragile. Seem to be feisty like a Blue Green Chromis type fish.
Red says he already eats Frozen, and might be pecking at flake.

Well with the Live Food Feeding (in Compact Size QT), he will have access to Food 24/7.
However I wish to start training him on supplemental Feeding for the Eventual transfer to DT.
He does already eat Frozen Brine Shrimp (Haikari, Shrimp and Spirilina Shrimp), which is ideal, since that is what I feed all my fish in the Evening. I feed my fish Pellets and Flake in the Morning.
Once I get the new TANK setup with ALL the Extra Fish (I figure 3 times a day, a variety......Frozen same as now...EVENING)

My GOAL Rock Scape (Something like this) OPEN Concept, Caves, Overhangs, and plenty of SPS mount points (With Good Flow Dynamics).
I came across this YOU TUBE Video of Guys Reef Tank.

It will probably take a lot of glue/putty/ACRYLIC RODS to make something like this (but I will try)

To me that tank looks like a LFS's for sale tank. I guess I just like the looks of a full blown reef with full colonies not just racks of frags.
But everyone's interest and likes are different. I do like how there are plenty of places to put corals, just looks empty to me even though it's obviously packed full of corals.

I know what you mean, but they quality of those rocks look pretty bad.
I'm not looking to do exactly the same. It's the concept of open spaces I'm after.
My capability is limited to the rocks I have.
Here is my PILE of ROCKS right now (just thrown in)
My limitation is many of the rocks are BIG, and I'm not into Cutting them.
Maybe if possible CRACK a few.
I DON'T have to USE THEM ALL. If they space out to fill tank, any leftovers can go into Sump/Refuge Area.
Too bad my First Rock Pile broke up (Darn Stool Missing).
That's the concept I'm targeting.
-> Pyramid Shape
-> Many openings
-> Open bottom
Right now, I'm ok with the PILE since I started DT lighting (Low T5 setting) to condition the TANK and ROCK.
The DT Rocks are not building up Algae (and the two Large STARVING Emerald CRABS are picking at anything that Shows up)
Also the ALGAE SCRUBBER has kicked in, so it's a it's a SINKHOLE for any Algae nutrients in the system
(Must do another N&P test since the MATRIX MEDIA should have matured by now)...Last time I check P was on the Rise (0.1_) , and N around 5.

Basement RENO (Remaining Flooring SECTION Completed) Last Section [ Hallways ]
I left the Hallway till last since I didn't want to damage a High Traffic Area during Cleanup.
The Rectangular Section wasn't terrible, but had TIGHT/Doorway challenges.
But the NARROW Hallway Section, and Final Door was Really TOUGH. (3 hours of work)
Yellow Zone Was difficult (with Double Diagonal, not Perfect 45 Degree Cuts)
The RED ZONE was Killer (like a Jigsaw Puzzle, Really Challenging on last 2 cuts to get under Doorway TRIM)
It came out so straight/Flush, I may not even bother doing trim.
ONWARD to The REEF TANK SETUP.....
These removable stickers are great. VERY REALISTIC LOOKING (Better than in Photo)
$2 on Alixexpress, and many kinds.

Thanks. More to come.
Sub was fun while Fresh Water. Wouldn't do that in a Salt Water Tank.
