Thank You!
Thank You and Congrats on the Lineatus - they are beautiful fish! To answer your questions, we try to keep things as simple as possible considering the size of our system, our heavy bio-load, due to the number of fish we have (they DO eat well) and the amount of corals we keep. We do use a Ca reactor, run GFO 24/7, and run activated carbon on occasion. We do not carbon dose, use ZEOvit or run biopellets. We keep excess nutrients to a minimum by keeping a good amount of live rock in our 2nd sump (150g stock vat), make use of filter socks, run 2 skimmers and perform weekly 10-15% water changes.
Thank You!

Sorry to read it ... I had a jumper the other week too, and on top of it not one that is known to jump, not a Wrasse. And no idea why he jumped ... found him 4 days later all dried out and no damage to it at all even though I have 2 cats and 3 dogs .... Mystery ...

Just a reminder to have your tank COMPLETELY covered with 1/4" mesh if you desire to keep wrasses!
If the head fits, the fish fits! Don't leave any gaps.

Yes and if the fish cannot get totally through it will get stuck in the net or opening as it cannot get back out .... and as evolved points out if there is a hole they WILL find it

Yeah, 4 in one shot is tough enough, but 4 in focus? Nice!

Yes great shot!
Yes I can see that but when it come to Wrasse there are so many gorgeous ones that making a choice is not always that easy (and of course compatibility needs to be taken into account as well) ... If you are looking for advice on choices evolved and others can I am sure give you super recommendations ... I would but I have not been involved in this thread much and they have .... so I will defer to them ...
A couple shots of my banana wrasse, one with flash and no tank lights on, the other without flash and tank lights on. Neither one is exactly correct although I am trying. It is such a pretty fish that I wanted to share. My apologies for not getting either shot correct but the truth is somewhere in between. the blue in the mid-body comes and goes depending on mood, I guess that is probably true for all of his coloring.
Head on shot of the elegant coris wrasse (of course with dirty tank glass--sorry)
