I love my fish,my tank is and always will be a fish tank first and foremost.....coral was an after thought :D

I want movement in there which is another reason why I've been hesitant on SPS coral,but I'm to the point that I'd like to see more color and it's hard to beat SPS for intense colors

Just added a harem of 8 anthias to my tank, and I'd agree, it nearly doubled the fish count, and made the tank so much more alive.

I'm a rather surprised you would add that many fish at once to any tank, particularly one that, just a few days ago, was "crashing."

Tanks been flawless since I removed the pellets... It's not a huge difference in bioload since there all very small... It would be like adding 11 damsels in reality everything is really small... I wouldn't recommend this on a small tank like 60 or 75 gallons etc. But when your water volume is in the 200+ gal range like mine I don't see it being a problem honestly.... I feel ya Gary with the crash going on etc but I didn't have any more time the tank they came from was drained so I wanted them I had to do it....
