Ok so got a new tank red sea refer 750XXL was going to be a reef but lost 1K in coral in coral QT not sure what happened there ...

anyway so I think I have decided to switch gears on this build and do a butterfly, tang, dwarf angel and small wrasse tank. I have always wanted butterfly fish but with a reef it's so hard.


my questions are:
1. I was hoping to do a bunch of gorgs. as far as I know butterfly dont eat them? am I way off here?

2. mixing of the butterflies. is there a chart like there is for wrasses? I know you cant mix 2 of the same species unless the are a mated pair.

3. let talk butterfly QT process. I was thinking of doing @Humblefish QT process with copper

4. how many butterflies can I QT in a 40br at the same time.
