How many maxi minis do you have? Any issues with fish disappearing?[COLOR="Silver"]
Thanks Jim! 5 maxi minis in there before tonight. I actually just took 2 out tonight to split and then they will go back in. One of which was the blue one, he had gotten GIANT!

No fish have disappeared so far *fingers crossed* but I have seen gashes in the orange lined cardinals. I think they have brushed up against them from time to time and they end up with burns. You can kind of see it on the side of the fish in the back right of this:

I keep going back and forth on them. I love the maxis but I would also love some blue striped pipfish in here... I don't have any other tank I'm willing to risk maxis in though, so for now they live in here.

Thank you so much! The mangroves have grown amazingly fast for me for some reason. I'm not sure if it's because all of the water that goes through that area or just because of higher nutrients, but I'm starting to worry about them getting too big! We went out to the local coral farm just recently and I noticed that ours are now larger than theirs that they have been growing for over 2 years! Right now I'm just not thinking about them getting too big and enjoying them.
