Pseudanthias bimaculatus

Pseudanthias bimaculatus

Congratulations on tank of the Month Tom I really enjoyed reading about you assortment Of Anthias I am a big fan of them I have a small school of Disbar Anthias. Is it posible to add some Pseudanthias bimaculatus to a Tank with the Disbar's in there or would the bimaculatus be to aggresive?
Thanks for any advice and great Tank Tom....

Congrats on a very nice tank, on the subject of the overflows, do you just have the blukheads with strainers or do you have an elbow on the inside of the aquarium? I would like some more details on how you have the drains set up, and positives or negatives of doing it that way.
Thanks

Stunning tank! Love the fish and coral combo and I believe in feeding the fish heavily myself. I can see that your fish are very healthy looking especially the 8 year old tangs.

I have a question about coral feeding. You have gotten alot of great growth and was wondering if you feed the corals at all? My softies don't seem to grow fast at all(except the xenia) and was wondering if I feed them enough?

I usually don't like softie tanks but yours is amazing. Really beautiful job on it! Congrats!!!
