It’s always been a toss up for reef friendly angel. The Wantanabei or swallowtail. In the end the Swallow tail fits the tank well and a female wantanabei would push limits and really should be kept in a pair from my reading.
Be nice to have some movement in the tank
I agree. The true beauty of the Watanabeis is found in the pair.

Hello folks, in lieu of fish being added went with the tick the tank off routine. Pulled some more algae from rocks stubborn stuff but not spreading just seems we are at a stalemate atm.
Miss a good tang gang :(
Have some stuff coming a coral box 4000 dc return pump 1100 gph, a Brightwell export block, more salt, and some pro bio pellet food to add to the mix. Here’s cpl pics of the not and and slightly mad...
On another note pep shrimp as expected unseen since intro and if they are exploring they haven’t found the aips yet :rolleyes: Mine are prolly allergic to em......... so far only see em on one zoa may just pop that one out cut it down before it gets worse.

Ugh too hot for moving and grooving. Been out of work since mid June with a disc and pinched nerve problem and going nuts. Picture today is another view from the couch but a different couch that’s about all he energy the heat left me today.
Icp test delayed Fauna Marin did reply quickly to my query should have it tomorrow. Rest of gear should arrive by weekend so feeling pretty good. Waiting for new fish to really play with the video editor was really fun doing the movie trailer style video. Stay cool friends and don’t let the salt creep get to far.....

Goooood Tuesday friends
Got my icp from FM cpl days late but they communicated quickly and let me know issues do all good especially for 20 bucks ;) Results attached but 3 metals low rest high now so will back off recommended dose of core essentials to find happy spot.
Fish sneak peek coming up. Salgado Aquatics fish are of excellent quality and very well packed. Their shipping is a premium price but to get the quality of stock worth while.
I had a minor heart attack last night. Got shipping notice fish coming next day but half hour later date changed to Wednesday! Panic mode past 9 pm shoot text and email Salgado and they called me! What service!! They explained its a system thing with carrier and it would change back to next day and it fix.
@SALGADO AQUATICS thank you very much for beautiful fish and for your customer service!
This is second order from you and level of quality and service is solid highly recommend you guys to anyone looking for new additions.
Now pics wrasse is gone deep foxface is adorable nice small guy to watch grow but hiding in back so pics of them later here’s CBB and Swallowtail

I’m not picking up what your putting down. 1st test all were low so I dosed core essential per it’s instrùctions which led to current test results where only three of the orange are low ( ones I’m not sure I want to chase with supplements 3 seperate bottles) and the rest of orange are higher than nominal hence backing off of dosing current core supplement daily per its label.
