Brand New 8 gallon bio cube

And remove that one panel I can at least see the heater core...

Oh my word that's a lot of work
 
You guys don’t understand! The “easy” part is taking all that off...putting it back on is where the men get separated from the boys.
And sanity separated from the mind! Poof there goes another mind blown!
 
I mean come on, that’s got to be the largest coral turd I’ve ever seen!

My trachy is giving him a run for the money right now.

I don't have coral who poop like that. Mine are all soft.
I'm sure my nem is a pooping machine with the way my clown feeds it
 
That’s a great spot for him, he’s gonna get huge!

I think so too.

The good thing about running a frag quarantine is you learn how each coral operates: the flow, light, feeding, etc.

So by the time they go into the display, you got their needs dialed in and don’t ever have to move them or re-arrange anything.

It’s a big benefit.
 
You can get a divider or make your own, separate them like a couple of rowdy kids who need a timeout ;)

It might come to that, it seems like it may only be around feedings.

Both of them can eat a lot, much more than my clowns did at this point.

The wrasse has also started swimming crazily. The dude can move. The blenny seems a little nervous around him and just posts up in that spot.

After my recent wrasse vs blenny violence I’m inclined to say that you should be really cautious. How big is the tank they are in right now? The wrasse might just feel cramped, they can be really active.

That’s looking like the case. It’s a small 10g. The wrasse is small, maybe 1.5-2” but he can still swim quite fast.

I can seal up another 10g if it comes to it. They only have 3 more weeks though.

I’m thinking about doing larger feedings to pacify the wrasse.

I do twice weekly water changes for them so I think the tank could take it.

My wrasse took less than 24 hours to kill my blenny once he decided the world wasn’t big enough for the 2 of them. The blenny died from stress, there wasn’t a mark on him or even fin damage. It’s up to you, the wrasse might be pretty stressed out too since it’s in a fairly small space that it’s not used to, and dividing that further might not be the best idea for him.

definitely feed more and maybe 3x a day? Reduce the light schedule too

It’s a freshwater crap light but I could reduce the day time on it.

Apparently McCosker flasher wrasses are much more peaceful than others.

I’m going to increase feedings and play it by ear. It would take 7-10 days to get another tank up and cycled anyways. By that time they would over halfway done.

The tank is 75% to full dose of copper, playing it super slow since they are both delicate. They are going to 100% in 1-2 days.
