How long after a split do your RBTAs take to , well ... act normal. Mine split weeks ago and the parent and two clones are hiding under the rock work now for weeks. Another clone roamed right after the split and found my VorTech immediately ... not a pretty site!

Usually after a day or 2 they are fine, but I had one that split that seems to be hiding more than normal. They are just weird animals

Here's a few pictures, I need to start restocking some coral I lost this spring. I've just been a little busy and nothing sucks more than stocking corals then losing them to stupidity (needed to learn how to use a calcium reactor) now that everything is good and stable I'll start trying some more SPS colonies. I'm having a hard time keeping the coraline algae off the acrylic. I scrape it off and a few days later its back. At least its a nice color

 

[chetm2]

I added a few new fish today, one I bought and 2 that were in need of a new home. First is a Goldflake Angel, second is a Large Yellow Tang and third is a pathetic looking green chromis. I spent a good hour getting bit by my maroon clown pair while cleaning about 3 months of corraline algae off the acrylic. Not a fun job.. I did get some cool night shots that I think turned out ok. You be the judge

I hope your goldflake behaves himself with your corals, any trouble with the juvenile angel? nice photos, great setup, well done!

 

[chetm2]

Thanks Elliott, the juvi is actually a Pomacanthuas chrysurus or Common Name - Chrysurus Angel. It nips at LPS and nipped at a large clam I had. It doesn't attack the same stuff over and over so I haven't had any coral deaths from him. He leaves my limited SPS alone. The Goldflake is supposed to be one of the safer Angels, I've always been a fish and critter guy first and coral guy second. I'd gave a few more angels if they would all get along.

 

[Elliott]

yeah, been thinking of adding an angel, think I'll wait for the tank to mature a little more, it's only been up for 7 months, let the corals grow out a little, would really like an Imperator, from what I've read it all depends on each individual fish.

Thanks for the tour yesterday Chet,
The tank looks very clean and stable, and of course full of anemones All the fish look so clean and healthy, simply beautiful.
I'm also amazed at how much 'stuff' you've been able to cram under that stand.

And........ that woodwork is just amazing

[chetm2]

Thanks Scott, when are you going to post some pictures of your tank??? And the Amazing woodwork with it?

new_world_disor - Thanks, I actually have a little sand still in the tank. I prefer the look of sand but not the perpetual duststorm.
