I have had these yellow tangs for a few years now and fortunately they get along just fine. They swim together and watch each others back.
I have been try to catch some of the tangs, but to no avail. I have given up for now, but hopefully one day soon I can remove all of the tangs. I really have had my eye on a group of Anthais at my LFS for a while now, but I dont want to add anymore fish to the tank until I have removed the tangs.

sunny did you stop dosing prodibio (biodigest/bioptim)?
do you think that vodka works in the same way?

Looks superb as always!!!

If your ready, you can get to them before they really have a chance to "wake-up," and they're much, much slower
This of course works 100X better if you already know where they're sleeping before the lights come on.
This is the only way I even attempt to catch fish anymore.
OR, LMK and I can shoot over with an extra pair of hands (and nets)

You should wait until the lights have been off for several hours (or better yet a couple hours before they come on usually), and flick the lights on quickly and be ready to go fishin'!

Re: Looks superb as always!!!
Thanks for the suggestions.
The only problem is the fish all sleep in caves. At night the tank looks empty. I just dont want to tear my tank apart for a few fish. Especially now that my tank has found its "mojo" and is growing and coloring up well.

Nothing like going to the emergency room at 3 AM to stitch up a fish attack. I could hear the ER Dr now...." So, what happened? Knife fight at the bar?" No, fish attack!

Yeah, I'm off the wagon again. :beer:
I am keeping the vodka under 2ml a day and it is working out great. My skimmer is pulling out a good amount of crap daily, and my water is crystal clear.
I picked up some Brightwell Microbak7 yesterday to replace the Prodiobio Biodigest. The Brightwell was easier to obtain and cheaper so I thought I would give it a shot. I will know after a month or so if it is good stuff.
I have not added the Prodibio Reefbooster for about a month now. The only negative side affect I have seen is that my corals are slightly lighter in color.

Came home to a minor rock slide yesterday. Seems my large Teardrop Maxima is getting a little too heavy for the rock work. I came home and found that the back side of the left island had completly collapsed due to the weight of the clam.
I rearranged the island but am not sure if I like it yet. Maybe I can fiddle around with it tonight and see how it looks.
Ill post some shots of the rearrangement when I get through.

Sunny - couple questions about your substrate as I am planning out a new 120G SPS reef. After a couple months now, what's your opinion of the Carib Sea Flor Special Grade Reef Sand? In hindsight would you use it again or just regular sugar sized sand?
In your 100G tank with lots of flow does it blow around less and leave less sandless areas than sugar sand? Any other pros & cons?
Thanks.

Well, so far so good. I have been dosing it for one week now and everything is still the same so its working good. I noticed an immediate reaction from my corals once I dosed it in the tank. They all extended their feeders and opened up.
My tank is nice the way it is so Im not trying to change anything. I just need a good and stable supply of bacteria.
