Though you'd like that.
Your "check in the mail" never made it to me.
She ate right away on Saturday, then took a nap until Monday morning. She wasn't out when I got home last night, but was up again this morning. She has eaten well the the last two mornings. Day 4... :high5:

Oh my word. Absolutely the most beautiful wrasse of all (and you have many beautiful ones). I am officially envious. Hope she continues to do well.
You have a wrasse lovers dream tank (with awfully nice coral as well)

Thank you very much for all the kind words.
So far, so good. And I hope the same!
Anampses femininus.
Thanks Ben, and indeed.

Not to derail from the beautful femininus but, I noticed in your build that you are using two MP10's as well as two MP40's. I have a 72x24x21 tank and currently have an MP 40 on each end. I was wanting to add two MP 10's on the back walls to provide better circulation.
My questions:
1. My glass is 5/8" which is thicker than the recommended for an MP 10. Is yours also? Any problems with using them or tips?
2. I was going to put them on the back walls with the one nearest the master on anti-synch and the one farthest away on synch. Reasonable plan?

Thank you.
Yes; my glass is 1/2". You are correct in that the 10's are only rated for 3/8" glass.
At a 1/2", the work fine for me, but their hold is definitely a bit on the weak side. While it hasn't at all been an issue for me, I think 5/8" might be pushing it a bit too far.
I tried both ways for a bit in terms of the sync; I ended up doing the one nearest the master on sync.
Thanks!

She's doing really well. Started round 1 of Prazi on Sunday and she's been unaffected by it. Eating like a champ (was eating mysis right away) and getting a nice fat belly.
The only issue I'm having with her is her night/day cycle. She gets up pretty early in the morning (nearly in the dark sometimes) ~6:30AM and is in bed by 5PM. My tank lights (right next to the QT) are on from 12:30PM-10:30PM, so hopefully she'll start shifting that cycle soon. Not a huge deal for the time being however.
