I AGREE ! :bigsmile:

They're so elegant and beautiful.
What size was she when you got her and for how long ?
Great job with the tank too.

After our other two reefs are done, I want a 125g for a Queen and other of this species, Clown Trigger and Tangs. But the Queen,.... is a favorite !

I dropped the Queen and Emperor in about 2 months ago. The Emp is about 8 inches and the Queen is about 6

Off the top of my head, I don't recall. I've got a Diamond Goby as well. Both of them do a great job keeping my sand bed White.

We've had the orange diamond goby, and it did a great job. If you think of what he is please let me know.

I would love to contribute to some SPS in you system..... I'll have my frag tank up soon and start growing!

great video! I love your selection of livestock - fish and corals. Everything looks great!!

Great progression of the thread, AJ. Glad to see a comeback after the fish loss this spring. Seeing those large colonies of SPS introduced get me to ask the question - do you have a treatment/quarantine process for your new sps pieces?

The transmission of Red bugs, AEFW, monti nudis, etc all worry me enough to quarantine my new sps with a couple of routine coral dips and an interceptor treatment period on all new pieces.

I cannot quarantine the corals. I don't have the space.

I dip them in Bayer for 10 minutes and then Revive for 10 minutes. I've tossed a handful of pieces in the last 3 months. If I see anything suspicious or bugs, I toss em.
