My latest wrasse

Awesome tank! What kind of maintenance do you do and how often?

I have a 60g that has been setup for 5 months and it just doesn't look nearly as good, just hoping for some good tips.

I'm a true beleiver in weekly water changes. I change out 10gallons a week in my 65g tank and 30 gallons a week in my 225. Along with the W/C's, I clean probes, change filtersocks and clean glass, powerheads, skimmers, I spend about 3hrs every Sunday morning on maintenance.

My 65g.
The larger fish are down in my big tank now.

I have now added 3 more wrasses to my tank, bringing the total to 8 different wrasses. I expect 4 more next week. Here are some more pics of my wrasses and others.

wow what a awsome tank you have there !!!!!

have any of the wrasses ever jumped out?

do you have a lineatus wrasses(cirrhilabrus linneatus) ?

[tileman]

I have built a top to keep the fish from jumping out. I wanted something that was reliable yet something that didn't look like eqqcrate. I built a screen frame the size of my tank and used a plastic netting called garden cloth. It is weather resistant so the halides don't effect it.

I'm expecting a lineatus supermale saturday. and a Rhomboid, puntatus and Balteatus.

awsome glad too hear you got to post a pic of that new lineatus wrasse

and that cover looks sooooooo cool

what keeps it attached too the frame work

[tileman]

My tank doesn't have a center brace, It is all held together by a powder coated steel frame, so the cover is held on by magnets.
