As soon as the 125 g cycles, I am tearing down my display refugium and turning it into a fish qt (39 gal tall). In it are 1 gold head sleeper goby (sand sifter) and a yellow tail damsel which have to go either into the new 125 or the 66 gal tank with the following:
2 blue/green chromis
2 darwin clowns
2 purple queen anthias
2 dispar anthias
1 mandarin
1 scooter blenny
1 bangaii
I plan to add maybe 1 more bangaii and maybe a blenny in a few months. Maybe just the bangaii.
I need to figure out where to put the 2 soon to be displaced fish. The goby will go into the 125. I have tons of low corals on sand and low on rock and don't want to battle sand. The 125 is big enough maybe he won't destroy it totally and there is no coral yet of course. The damsel is my problem.
When in qt with the 2 chromis, the damsels were aggressive so even with just one, I worry about upsetting my current stock. If I put it in the 125, I do plan to put in anthias and tangs, maybe some chromis, but it is also a larger tank--twice the length. If it goes in that tank I'd prob. add 1 or 2 more.
Where would you put your orphan damsel
