Come on main, LOL what kinda fish did you pick up? Interesting that you went the CARx direction with so many people opting just to dose 2 part. Which one did you opt for and was it difficult to dial in and fine tune?
.....On with the pictures!
Yeah I picked up Deb's Geo 624 that she had on her 450 reef. I tried the 2 part dosing on previous tanks and I never was consistant enough with the dosing, maybe things would have been different had I gotten some automatic dosing pumps. But I got a heck of a deal on the Ca Rx so figured I'd give it a shot. So far with the pH controller it's been set and forget...
Only two fish that made it thru the velvet were the yellow coris and the leopard wrasse...wondering if it's something to do with them both sleeping in the sand?? Not the first time I've heard that either. But I've done a lot of smaller, colorful fish this time around rather than the large group of tangs and I really like the look. Makes the tank look a lot more active IMO. Have a friend who is getting rid of a hippo and purple tang soon so may pick those up but otherwise probably call it good on the fish other than trying to find a female for my supermale Flame.
Current fish list:
Desjardini Sailfin Tang
Yellow Tang
Clown Tang
Supermale Flame Wrasse
Cebu Pylei Wrasse
Red Margin Wrasse
Yellow-flanked Wrasse
Leopard Wrasse
Yellow Coris Wrasse
McCosker's Wrasse
Cleaner Wrasse
Potter's Angel
Flame Angel
Midas Blenny
Flame Hawk
Mated pair of Black Perc and Orange Perc

The sand can play a role in that it "sloughs" off some of the slime coat when they hit it (sand), but moreso has to do with the scale structure on (most) genus of wrasses.
Nice new fish list, glad to see you got a couple angels in there
