Here are the 3 angels together. The multibar is less than half the size of the other two. He will get pushed around while also being feisty. His size prevents him from getting in there and competing with the chromis during feeding so I don’t get to see him eat yet.

I thought I’d share what it looks like when your favorite fish Regal gets ticked and takes it out on the sps.:face-with-rolling-eyes:

I removed 10 chromis' as they start out so cute, but when they become 3+ inches they are simply mean, and eat like pigs. Overfeeding sent my NO3 and PO4 to new heights and im working to get that back in line. I anticipate some STN and general unhappiness for a few weeks to come as in my experience there is always a delayed affect; and any preventive action today will not see immediate positive results.

Just updating. Many sps are really taking off. Others not so much. The tank has had some ups and downs but mostly positive.

A progression sequence to current events... I think the tank is finally mature enough to be shared in the "SPS" forum... ;) Im leaving for Europe for 3 weeks soon. Even though everything is pretty much automated with several cameras monitoring, 3 weeks is risky. Will keep the fingers crossed.

Freshwater filter only or is it? Have you ever used an HOB filter on a saltwater tank?
