I appreciate you coming to Ross' defense Bob, but I lost 2 fish over 6 months, not 8 fish in 2 weeks. Perhaps some extra caution and patience should be advised?

Ross, sorry to hear of these losses. As a guideline, I waited 2 months to add a pair of tiny clownfishes. My first 3 corals also came at about that time. This was in a 90 gallon. Even though your large tank should have an easier time adjusting to a new bioload, even one fish can offset the balance of a system, established or not.
