Well I went in to buy the frag tank system today and they had sold the last one! 😢 😭
I have one on order, no telling when that'll get here though. Oh well, I tried to bring some excitement.
Well darn! Now we just have to wait. Did they know when it would come in for you?

feeding white worms!

Tank is looking so good! I'm amazed you're able to have the Six-line with other Wrasses, was it the last addition?

No, he was in my previous tank that I transferred. In 20 years of reefing I’ve almost always had one and for the life of me don’t understand why it gets dumped on.

What can you guys tell me about chromis? I really like their color...
Never had one but I understand if you add a group you eventually end up with one unless I’m thinking of a different fish.

I'm in the same boat, have had 3, all 3 haven't bothered anyone but I'm always trying to plan for worst case scenario because of everyone talking bad about them.

This has been my exact experience. They just kill each other off eventually left with one. I think the key to them is having a giant tank.
