Heres a little update.

A few months back we purchased 5 Lyretail Anthias to join the 1 we already had, they where all females but we knew that 1 would dominate and change to a male.
This is what they all looked like 3 days ago.

Now the original one has started the change and WOW what a huge difference 3 days makes.

I think its ok right now but once those tangs get bigger I might need to upgrade my skimmer.

Well I dont exactly know what has happened in my reef but my male Lyretail Anthias went from cruising the tank to not eating to dead in about 4 days. Plus 1 of the females has also died, and the other 4 are always in hiding.
I dont get it.

That's too bad as they were very pretty.

Just found this thread. Awesome everything man (sorry to hear about the fish though).

Maybe I missed it before, but what lighting are you running on the new tank? Is it the same as the 72, only with more bulbs?

Canuckgod420 · #**110** 07-07-2011, 03:18 PM

yeah its the same fixture, 48" T5 HO 8 bulb.
I am very happy with it for sure. I am however going to upgrade to a 5 foot fixture ASAP.
