[ingtar_shinowa]

wow!

 

[Aquaph8]

Nice man, you didn't get me one?

 

[evolved]

wow!

Though you'd like that.

Nice man, you didn't get me one?

Your "check in the mail" never made it to me.


She ate right away on Saturday, then took a nap until Monday morning. She wasn't out when I got home last night, but was up again this morning. She has eaten well the the last two mornings. Day 4... :high5:

Oh my word. Absolutely the most beautiful wrasse of all (and you have many beautiful ones). I am officially envious. Hope she continues to do well.

You have a wrasse lovers dream tank (with awfully nice coral as well)

 

[Daniel@R2R]

Beautiful wrasse! What kind is it?

 

[shrimplet]

Holy moly that wrasse is a knockout! Is that a femininus ?

Thank you very much for all the kind words.
So far, so good. And I hope the same!

Anampses femininus.

Thanks Ben, and indeed.

Hmmm...tricky tricky Mr Hammond...

You win this round. Beautiful fish though.

Wow that fish is absolutely gorgeous!!! Very nice!!!

Not to derail from the beautful femininus but, I noticed in your build that you are using two MP10's as well as two MP40's. I have a 72x24x21 tank and currently have an MP 40 on each end. I was wanting to add two MP 10's on the back walls to provide better circulation.

My questions:

1. My glass is 5/8" which is thicker than the recommended for an MP 10. Is yours also? Any problems with using them or tips?

2. I was going to put them on the back walls with the one nearest the master on anti-synch and the one farthest away on synch. Reasonable plan?

Looking good! Awesome collection of wrasses.

Yes; my glass is 1/2". You are correct in that the 10's are only rated for 3/8" glass.
At a 1/2", the work fine for me, but their hold is definitely a bit on the weak side. While it hasn't at all been an issue for me, I think 5/8" might be pushing it a bit too far.
I tried both ways for a bit in terms of the sync; I ended up doing the one nearest the master on sync.

Looking good! Awesome collection of wrasses.

Thanks!

How's that new beauty doing Hunter?

 

[evolved]

She's doing really well. Started round 1 of Prazi on Sunday and she's been unaffected by it. Eating like a champ (was eating mysis right away) and getting a nice fat belly.

The only issue I'm having with her is her night/day cycle. She gets up pretty early in the morning (nearly in the dark sometimes) ~6:30AM and is in bed by 5PM. My tank lights (right next to the QT) are on from 12:30PM-10:30PM, so hopefully she'll start shifting that cycle soon. Not a huge deal for the time being however.

Here's this morning:

Dang, I'm sooooo jealous of you now! Sweet fish!

 

[Aquaph8]

My kuiteri was on about the same schedule when I first got her. It took a while before she would stay up past 5
