Congrats on your new DaStaCo. They have the reputation as the Rolls Royce of calcium reactors.

I was using 520ml of ATI Essentials a day DKH 7.5-8

It apparently IS Christmas! Nice. I guess I should hang on to my calcium reactor. I was thinking I wouldn't need it using Essentials.

I just picked up a Blue Throat Fairy Wrasse from LADD about three days ago. didn't get delivery until 9pm on the delivery day. I was for sure he would be DOA. He looked great in the bag fins all extended vibrant blue throat, a testament to their hardiness. feed him the next morning and he ate readily, then started prizapro. He will eventually be going in with a bunch of tangs, a trigger, foxface and about 7 other wrasse two of which are flame wrasse, fingers crossed that their will be peace in the river city
Pics to follow

Nice fish - just googled it. Do you use an acclimation box when adding wrasses to your tank?

 

[Black Pearl]

Definitely, I leave them their until they are ignored by the other fish, then release, doesn't always totally eliminate aggression, but it helps. I think I have pics of my flame wrasse in acclimation box on this thread IIRC
