I have been looking at the tank (yes I know... the cam) and unfortunately I have a bad bully. The six lines wrasse has turned very aggressive and is chasing and bitting the chromis, the pygmy angels and the blue tang. The fishes are showing damages in their fins. I knew it was risky to take a six lines and now my fishes are paying the price.
The final call has been made and a trap was set up, the bully will have to leave the tank. [emoji52]

Finally after no action in weeks I decided to bought new tank inhabitants. 3 flame dart fishes and one gorgonian went into the tank. The fishes received some bullying from the ever angry pygmy angels but I hope they will be fine. I hope to be with the tank in a couple of weeks to decide if I buy more livestock. Sorry for the pic and video quality as everything is done with the remote web cam.

As I had issues with algae growing fast in the glass, I switched from the standard activated carbon to Seachem carbon the results are awesome! In 3 days the algae has not appear. I hope to have a nutrients reading done by tomorrow but I am already loving it.

I hoped and prepared the best I could but today I had a jumper... one of the flame gobies jumped and died, sad day. I have the Red Sea net cover but it did not stop this little fish, I guess he shoot directly in one of the net holes. Also I cannot see his two companions, I hope they are ok but it had been three days since I saw them, I know sometimes they hide but I have little hope now.

He did well to get through the cover Pancho, he must have just ‘launched’ at the exact angle for lift off and been quite thin to get through that.
I hope you find the other 2 and it’s easy for them to hide in the depths.....

Well, a lot happen this week as I am with the tank. Number one, the two clowns were temporally banished! lol, those two bullies decimated the firefishes I introduced, only one is alive today. The female clown was literally sitting on top of the firefish scape hole to starve him. Both are in the LFS and will come back in one week more.
Two, I as went to the LFS I bought a nice looking flame angelfish, he is awesome. I always wanted one, he was coldly received by the Coral Beauty in the beginning but it seems things are improving. Also I bought a Yellow Wrasse, he is really peaceful and was happily swimming immediately after introduction, I believe I needed more yellow in the tank. Now I have to decide between another acro or a monti, both are resting in a little frag rack in right corner of the tank, I just have to choose [emoji41].
Finally I installed the Enheim Feedding Station, to do so I had to trim the net but I believe it is ok, I mounted it in one of the net rails.
The Six Lines Wrasse is behaving so it is not in my blacklist anymore, I had to trim a monti that making too much shade and I think the Setosas and the Duncan are also ready to be fragmented, everything has grown so much! I like how the things are going.

Great pictures Pancho and the tanks looking very nice!
My Coral Beauty always receives new residents ‘coldly’ as well. Infact he is downright nasty!
