I use a Tupperware type bowl for the sand rather than the ceramic....less likely to damage something if I drop it and won't break.

You could make it out of anything, but usually with a quarantine tank it's best to use non porous surfaces. Any rocks will absorb copper, so if you run copper, consider that will make testing for copper more complex. Also it's not necessary to anthropomorphize fish, it's already a very unusual environment. Many people have had success with inert, ugly containers for a short period.I would rather have something reef-like with crevasses. Do you know who carries them? Maybe I could build one out of rubble rock.

Did you get that from Azure aquatics? I saw one last week, but someone picked it up today before I could get back. It's a beautiful fish!Just picked up a Katherine wrasse for $65! Trapped and put my solar wrasse in the sump until I can find it a new home.
This species gets to close to a foot unlengtg. It is peacedyl to tankmates that it can't eat, but will hunt small fiah ans inveets. Individuals can xhange their colors quickly based on environment.Cheilinus chlorourus floral wrasse, anybody know anything about these guys and if they stay red?
4.5" for the rhomboid, 5" fo the pintail and crescent tail.Id like to know the true size of a few wrasses. Not that i can fit them in my 30g but im curious. You see so many different max sizes from online vendors. Lets here it from the true owners of these fish. So whats the real max size of:
Rhomboid wrasse
Pintail wrasse
Crescent tail wrasse
are there any fairy wrasse that stay small? Around 3"-3.5"?. seems to me they all get to around 5-6"This species gets to close to a foot unlengtg. It is peacedyl to tankmates that it can't eat, but will hunt small fiah ans inveets. Individuals can xhange their colors quickly based on environment.

What are your P04 and are you using gfo or another phosphate remover in addition to carbon dosing? NO3 and PO4 are used by bacteria in tandem. Zeroing out 1 stops the process for the other. If not using any additional phosphate remover, then add some additional nitrate absorbing media in the sump, such as pond matrix.
Also, more frequent water changes will help. Though, if it weren't for the sps, your NO3 levels don't concern me.
Regardless of chemistry, I would suggest removing these fish.

Prazipro works in about an hour, so a wc should be fine.
Prazi can affect appetite, so having the fish eat vigorously for a few days before dosing can be a good idea.
Yeah, last couple wrasses I got it took quite a while to get them use to this time zone.+1
Also, fwiw my leopard goes to bed around 4-5pm every day. It does take them some time to adjust to our light schedules, and it's not unusual for a new leopard to dive during the day or at odd times, or even hide completely for several days at a time.
