Some beautiful specimens. Looks like a lot of work will be involved to keep them healthy (especially in the next few weeks/months).

I'd be doing heavy water changes weekly (like 50%) for a few weeks and feeding lots too (to help with the stress factor).

I understand your excitement in adding all those fish at once, but in my opinion, patience is the best tool a reefer can use.

Good luck, I hope things work out for your tank. Looks great!

Yikes! Honestly I'm quite appalled by the fact that some one on here would say such a thing :sad: I'm glad that the mods removed that comment but I'm still shocked that it was made it the first place.

A lot of people have different ways of doing things in this hobby. Just because someones way is different then how you would do it (albeit right or wrong) doesn't mean you have to be nasty to that person.

I hope everything works out for you and your fish.

Nice tank; and your fish are incredible.

Thanks for posting pics, they are beautiful fish. Yeah, it seems like a lot to add all at once but if aggression would be an issue otherwise then I can see your reasoning for doing it this way. You're better than me at keeping up with water changes, that's for sure! Having kept fish for years I'm sure you know the risks, and I doubt anyone would risk killing all of those beautiful (and not cheap!) fish. The tank is very nice and clean, thanks for sharing the pics :)

And tisk tisk to the person who posted the bleach comment! How does that help the fish at all??

Any chance of getting equipment pictures? I would like to see the sump.

for the record i pointed out what the nasty acronym meant. I also commended the mods on a job well done and my posts were also removed. If my posts were removed simply because they related to the nasty posts it'd be nice if that was explained to me. I hate sifting through a thread only to find my input has been deleted.

sorry, I don't have time to send notes to everyone to make sure feelings aren't hurt. Publicly posted comments are subject to review and removal, depending on their content or relationship to other questionable content. I did post that the thread was cleaned up, if your post is missing, it went with the cleaning.

So anything that made mention or replied to the comment about 'pouring bleach into the tank and walking away' was removed?

correct. It's now a nice happy thread about a new member posting about his tank. I see no point in tarnishing it with comments like pouring bleach in tanks.
To rant about the whole thread, madreefer has his own thread about it, the origianl thread is not the place.

Fair enough...makes sense.

Sent both of you a PM, we're hijacking again...

Yes we are...ooops.

Actually...Hey 300G, what do you feed? How often? How much?

There, back on track ;)

The fish definately look beautiful! (thx brad. I'm delicate!)

Fish Update
 

It's me 300g, wife typing only...
Firstly, I'd like to express my regrets for any unhappiness caused in the community with my thread started and responses posted/deleted. As mentioned, I do not mind at all anyone expressing their opinions or concerns, I take note of them. I had not even realized there was an entire other thread stemmed from this.
Anyways, back to my original conversation....
Here are some today's pics of the fish, setup and video. Nice or not - pls continue to post your opinions, no worries....I just hope no one will go below the line and get deleted again....:wink:!!!
Trying out photobucket!! http://s571.photobucket.com/albums/s...lon/Mar282009/

Nice video...You have a Clown Trigger!

Fish look healthy.

You'll see from my new pics what I feed. In the pic with the spoon/bowls - Green powder is from Japan-I don't know how to describe-a combo of deep sea vegetation. Apparently fish really like it and tend to eat, even if they are not feeding well. My friend gave it to me. The other spoon is a mix I made myself of dried clam, shrimp, crab, scallop, seaweed. I feed at the most 3x/day for span of 6 hrs. I watch them finish, then a couple of hours later feed again. I need to go on the schedule of the flagfin angel which needs several small feedings.

You have a beautiful tank with gorgeous fish. I would watch those fish for hours on end. I iwsh I could set up an Angel tank like that.

Your fish eat very well, I may have to get some of that "green powder" sent this way.

Is your maintenance friend Colin? I was going to post that your Blueface will definitely be the boss, now that you've added a Clown Trigger....watch your fingers!! :lol:

Thanks again, It is quite immpressive and what ever you feed them they seem to love it.
I would love to know what your green powder is. Perhaps you should be selling this. I hope your wife is not to mad, she seems very nice. And your pictures and video's are wonderful to see. I hope you continue to share with us all, and I for one am glad that you are not to offended. They mean well I think, sometimes the approach is very rough.
Hope to see more video's soon. Hope things continue to do well for you and your fish family.

[quote=High tide;405226]Is your maintenance friend Colin?

+1 and he's providing the maintenance services for his previous and new customers. And could you please post some of the pictures regarding the set up of your sump? Thanks

Nice videos. What is that acrylic box in your sump that is filled with bioballs? And what kind of skimmer is that? It cooks up a nice looking fish broth.

i missing him on my listed !!

Update New Pics & Video
 

Just added a lunar wrasse & a crosshatch trigger. Appears they are enjoying their new environment. The previous fish added are all doing well too...I hope they continue to thrive. They enjoy eating tiger shrimp, not too keen on the dried food except for dried seaweed.

That crosshatch trigger is amazing!!! You have an amazing tank and fish...

Great looking crosshatch. :)

I think lucky so far. My friend has tried crosshatch triggers 3x and each time they didn't eat - ....died. One of them jumped out of the tank and died.

Amazing Fish!

The crosshatch trigger..(died) :cry::cry::cry:!!!! I saw him doing very well in this morning but after fews hours later he ....... gone ???:redface::redface:Is he very hard to keep ?

Sorry to hear about the Crosshatch, they are a great fish.

How about your Xhatch ? How long in your tank ?

I am very sorry to hear about your cross hatch. Fro what I read about triggers they are very easy to keep. How long was he in the store for before you brought him home. It could be that he went home too soon and did not have the time to adjust to captivity. Sometimes these things just happen...

I am sorry you lost the trigger.
How long was he in your QT.
What other fish have you lost since you first posted?

My Crosshatch has been in my tank for a little under 2 years and it has always looked and done great in there, I was able to order in a nice small sized one. I did make sure that it was eating well first before I brought it home though.

5 days in fish store .my home just 3 days ??

Thanks for your info !!

Do you mean that it was in the QT for only 3 days?

i only lost Xhatch.
