NEW Tank Build !!!

[Aqua-Digital]

Fish stock for new tank update.

well we had a few losses sadly, always happens with new import stock. Only one was a suspect loss the others explainable

I nearly lost my large watchman Goby, I have no clue how he managed this. He went missing did not appear for morning or afternoon snack, looked everywhere even checked under sofa for cardboard fish syndrome! Nothing. I was cleaning out my filter sock and there he was, stressed to hell, but what gets me is how on earth did he get through the overflow comb that is less than half his head width! I can only assume he jumped for the moon and amazingly landed in the overflow box! Then swift exit into the sump 11' below! So now he is back in the tank, cant say he is happy.

we lost our royal gramma within 4 hours, stuck to the Tunze pump, either got too close or simply pegged it from new import shock.

The Leopard wrasse was next, he swam from day one with a bend so the writing was on the wall there.

Then the saddest was the loss from being beaten to a pulp by my yellow tang. I had a real nice striped sail fin, all our tangs shoaled from day one no aggression, then came down one morning to find (named by my wife) Samantha giving the poor little guy 10 rounds of the tank side glass. Could not remove him and that was that

So Samantha is in the dog house, the sail fin is in the bin and I learnt that sail fins and yellow tangs are not the best of friends!

No more fish for a while, we have a healthy stock, will add some missing links in a few weeks once the corals have settled in, just hardy LPS and some hardy SPS for now, baby steps.
