Nope! As soon as it was in I just wanted to see water in it. There’s probably another 200 litres to go currently plus the sand.Water already! Dang! You don't mess around!
It was a shame but I have no doubts I’ll get another when the tank is established!Dang sorry for you losses. I still remember when you first got ikea. Tank is coming along great.
Thankyou, unfortunately I have yet to have a tank upgrade without losing fish but each time it just means when I next move or upgrade it’ll be much less likely I lose fish!Two things.
1: the new tank looks fabulous
2: sorry to hear about those losses. Foxy in particular. Glad to hear you’re going to get a new one or two. I have to admit I love mine.
Are the rocks cycled? If they are no reason to worry about ammonia.It’s full!! We have sand and rock now just the fish have to go in.
I don’t have any live bottled bacteria but I’m hoping one fish won’t do too much in terms of ammonia.

They’re all the same rocks from out of the 4 foot tank.Are the rocks cycled? If they are no reason to worry about ammonia.
Numbers track. However, oxygen exchange may become problematic. Perhaps you want some volume-to-volume ratio of water to wrasse volume? Maybe 100x? So you can get 216.89 wrasses into the 5 foot tank--let's say 216 wrasses and a shrimp goby. Savvy?Assuming the average wrasse is 10cm long 3cm tall and 2cm wide. Using pi/6 as a ratio for volume lost due to a wrasse being more spherical then rectangular prism shaped.
10cm*3cm*2cm*pi/6=31.4cm^3 = 0.0314L = 0.00830 gallons
180gal/0.00830gal= 21,689 wrasse
You’re good to go then. Each upgrade has had the rocks from the previous and it’s been no issues whatsoeverThey’re all the same rocks from out of the 4 foot tank.
The sand is dry and new as I wasn’t going to risk the same mistake I had in the last upgrade of this tank.

Does that account for list space due to would objects being solid or are you assuming pureed wrasse?Assuming the average wrasse is 10cm long 3cm tall and 2cm wide. Using pi/6 as a ratio for volume lost due to a wrasse being more spherical then rectangular prism shaped.

Does 21,688 wrasses + 1 sixline wrasse = 1 sixline wrasse?Assuming the average wrasse is 10cm long 3cm tall and 2cm wide. Using pi/6 as a ratio for volume lost due to a wrasse being more spherical then rectangular prism shaped.

Insert broke back mountain gif.Like i could....
Like these unedited?My recommendation is get as close to the colors that are actually in the tank. I edit so that the black point makes them look less washed out, but otherwise editing is pretty minimal. Gotta remember all vendors , even Shane use fairly heavy blues and edit them to look brighter. Albeit SBB corals don’t get overblown like say Jason Fox corals when shown on site.
Man, it's taking forever for those photos!It’s full!! We have sand and rock now just the fish have to go in.
