I forgot to mention that if I have to medicate, I drain the water out of the sump afterwards and give it a good cleaning. Then fill it back up with new water and put it back on line. For copper treatment I use Cupramine which does not leave any copper trace.

Wow what a beautiful fish. You could easily think he's just trying to pick mysis off the powerhead and nothing more. Then you see him dart into position for his catch! Great video...

That's a 30g he's in, in that video? Huh, it looks bigger to me for some reason.. is he pretty small?

It's pretty funny to watch him. He only does it a few times in the video though. On other occasions I've seen him do it dozens of times and really smack the PH.

It's actually a 35g. He's between 6 and 7 inches I'd guess.

It seems I was all worried for nothing. When the new Trigger went in the DT the Tuskfish barely batted an eye. (Can fish bat their eyes?) The SF Tang made a show a few times, circling the Trigger and slapping at it with his tail, but no harm done.

That's it. My stocking list is complete:

Blue Throat Trigger
Harlequin Tuskfish
Sailfin Tang
Kole Tang
Lunare Wrasse
Schooling Bannerfish
Lamarck's Angel
Falco Hawkfish
Foxface
Copperband Butterfly
Lawnmower Blenny
2x Fire Clowns w/GBTA
7x BlueGreen Chromis

Yeah, I filled it up pretty quickly. No wonder I have excess nutrients in this tank.
I'm a heavy feeder too. Skimmer is pulling 2 cups of crud a day. Oh well, the softies and LPS are doing well anyway.

I know. We're bad aren't we? Just can't say N-O!
