  1. Yellow coris do not touch any type of corals in my experience
  2. Best friends-no. They don't chase one another but if they cross paths they don't stay around each other. Its a standard 220g. They aren't always together but when the moon lights turn on the male coral beauty gets below the female and they stay like that for around 10 seconds as they rise up the tank and go across. Never checked to see if that's how they mate since they do it every night. The flames do it a few times a week, the beauties twice a night. They don't eat corals that I have. Not sure if it makes a difference but I feed the tank at least 3 times a day and they get a nori sheet every morning. When I feed them twice a day they still do not nip. Its a mixed reef with acros, zoas, acans, euphyllias, leathers random lps. Sounds fancier than it is. They do nip acro polyps so don't get millies and expect them swaying in the flow at least that's my experience. The corals do grow just not great pe. A barf bonsai is a good example of a acro that still has pe and they don't touch them.
  3. Most fish do well as pairs. Glad to hear Moorish idols are in that category. If I could deal with their appetites I would try them again. I have coral beauty and flame angel pairs. Good plan with the damsels. They add great colors. The purple, bicolor and royal dottybacks are some of the meanest fish you can get no matter the size tank or other fish.
  4. Great list. Your tank will look amazing at feeding time. I haven't heard of two moorish idols in a long term setting being successful but one definitely. They eat a lot. Why not get a pair of each angel? Mine have an almost nightly rendezvous. With the damsels they will harass smaller new fish. If they don't fight back they'll harrass them more. Dottybacks can be peaceful like the fridmani springeri and sometimes sunrise. I have them and they don't bother anyone.
  5. Great plan. I want to see that cheat sheet one day. I'm sure its full of stuff that I can learn from.
  6. You definitely have the wrasse bug. Which exquisite-African or Fiji? IME with those flashers I would get the linespot last or same time as the others, they can become jerks with new flashers. I'm really looking forward to seeing your tank when its stocked
  7. The fish I lost was killed when they were removing the live rock. I don't remember how or what coral was lost. To save room they used 5g water cooler drums and Rubbermaid bins for the live rock. Fish were put in their own Rubbermaid bin.
  8. I hired someone so it was really easy. I do remember they had containers for all of the water and they kept the containers with the fish heated while they worked on getting the tank ready. Once the moved tank temp matched they put the fish in. Lost one fish and one coral.
  9. Nice write-up. Great selection of fish and corals.
  10. Amazing. Congrats and thanks for sharing their private moment. You must have a very healthy tank.
  11. He has leds How long has the tank been running? How often do you do water changes and what amount?
  12. I have some gold mushrooms and they do that sometimes. No idea why but they return to their normal size after a while.
  13. I like it, especially if you are doing a reef there are some good spots for corals to enjoy the tank. Are the rocks glued? Especially the one on the top right? Or is that one rock?
  14. How long are you running the water? No leaks?
  15. I have access panels on the front top of my in wall tank. What plumbing will the tank have? Closed loop, internal overflow?
  16. Good luck with drilling. I used a glass holes kit for my tank, easy to do and it looks good. Did you get the extra cover for the overflow? I really recommend it.
  17. I had a 110g tall too and it wasn't reef ready. With only 2 1500gph hydors and 2 metal halides with t5s it was full of dirt and algae.
  18. If you ever put chaeto or any other macro algae in your tank they may have hitchhiked on it.
