m the rhomboids are in QT as well. Forgot them lol. I have 2.
The tank is 960g. 8x4x4. I actually put the nahacky and hooded in at same time. They pay no attention to each other

Dang son! Sounds like you’ve got a sweet setup, getting tank envy. Gotta buy my wife a bigger house before I get a bigger tank!

Lol yeah we just bought a house in July. I had to wait til after my daughters first birthday party on August 25th before I was allowed to tear down a wall and start building the tank.
It’s a plywood/glass build that I had to do in the living room/dining room as no entry was big enough for a 4x4 opening

Sounds awesome dude! I totally feel the balancing sweet reef tank and family priorities. I am working on teaching my boys (3 & 5) to do this so they can pay for college fixing people’s aquarium problems and cleaning lazy dentists tanks.

You can kind of see my Lubbock in this pic. I've had a lot of fish but this one has the most personality by far

C. Nahacky?

 

[d-man]

C. Nahacky?

Yes sir

 

[HairyGary]

Yes sir

How's his aggression?

There have been a few on DD lately and hoping another pops up

 

[d-man]

Yes sir

I got him and two others directly from QM.
All 3 were in QT together with no issues at all.
He has been a complete model citizen but he was also the last wrasse added.
I’ll let u know in a month or so when I add my other wrasses going through QT currently

Re-homing 2.5" c. exquisitus and 3" c. isosceles tomorrow, so excited. Guy has had them 1yr/6mo, so I'm hoping they fly through QT no problem. Wondering if I should box both of them, or capture the social wrasse and box that guy since he seems to be the only really assertive thing in the tank when finally introducing them.

What else do you have in your tank? of the two, the exquisite will be the more aggressive one in the long run.

2 ocellaris clowns, midas blenny, blue star leopard, social fairy, some small gobies and a gold assessor. I can re-home the social if he becomes an issue to another tank here, he was one of those 'look how cheap that guy is' buys at the LFS before I really knew about the types of fairys here.

Tank size?

I would just put the Isosceles in first using box and then the exquisite doing same.
