Thank You. The secret to its success is being downstream to my vortech.
I feed spectrum pellets to my fish out of that corner and every pellet the fish miss ends up in the hammer. Just a guess, I don't really know why it does so well, but it's getting too big for my tank. LOL.

Do you have a list of all your beautiful wrasses?Everyone of my fish are a showpiece in my book. LOL
What's the black one with white dots? I love your tank!

That would be greatly appreciated. How do you introduce new wrasse into the system? Several club members QT them until they eat. Others release them right into the system. The last time I QT two wrasse (they came in rough from shipment) didn't end up successful compared to direct release into the display, which I'm scared to do.

Most of my wrasses come from Live aquaria D/D and are added directly to my tank. In an acclimation container for a couple of days to help them get used to the other fish . I believe that wrasses stress a lot more than others and the extra stress of a Qt is too much for them. It has come back to bite me once. I added a wrasse from a LFS which caused a virus breakout and I lost about 10 wrasses. It has taken me about a year and a half to get my collection back up.

I always love your shots Brad! But please be careful not to introduce something into the tank that could compromise your incredible wrasse collection...
Speaking of DD fish, Im supprised that I wasn't racing against you on thursday for that incredible wrasse they had up... But that is ok, because you beat me on the nahacky's...

Thanks Ryan. It's a great compliment to me when it comes from you. Trust me, I know it's scary adding them directly, Luckily, I'm nearing the end of adding new ones. My tank is very "Happy " right now with fish and coral.
There are only a couple that would have me want " one more"
I saw that one on DD but after buying the nahacky and xmas approaching. Couldn't do it.:twitch:
Did you get the splendid??

That's a great price, you wont find a better one. But those kind of prices gets me thinking they want to dump them quick and then it gets me to thinking maybe something might be wrong with the fish.
And , Yes, I do have a cover over my tank.
