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

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.
