New 40 Gallon Setup and Transfer

Yes 86 the damsels I got rid of all mine except the domino I can't catch and he is a holy terror , he is always bullying all the other fish , you'll be so happy there gone

Personally I would get rid of the damsels. They get meaner with age. Add the fish at night when the lights are off. As long as the six line and Dottyback get along, you should be good. Only one real way to find that out. Best of luck!

Thanks Paul. Appreciate the advice. I have to see if I can find someone willing to take them or exchange them for supplies or coral.

Thanks Seaweed. I will do that if I can find someone willing to do a exchange.

Has anyone had any bad results using silicone 2?

I stopped using silicon as I found out all I do is make a big mess
I don't have a steady hand and I never could get the bead the same along the seams
just be sure the silicon you get is aquarium safe , cause you don't want to kill your fish

Thanks Seaweed. I think k I used silicone 2 or 3 to build my 20 gallon sump. I can't remember.

OK I released the fish into my tank the other night and they are all doing fine except I had a damsel jump out. So now I have eggcrate sitting on top of my tank.

Nice! I have done similar to these. Mine are slow growers compared to the rest of my zoas. They have name?

 

[Bdonaldson]

OK I totally forgot about the pictures. I was so excited to go to MACNA and I picked up a bunch of nice pieces.

I have a problem keeping some types of thick based torches and hammers. I'm not sure what i am doing wrong. I put them in my tank and a couple days later they start to die off. Meanwhile my smaller thinner pieces are doing well. Can anyone offer some advice as to what I may be doing wrong?

Looking forward to the photos. Those blue spotted jawfish are so awesome. My buddy had one for sale that I want, but I didn't have the money. He was gonna let me have him for $90.

Yeah the blue spot jawfish is so colorful. I was able to get mine for $90.00 from a local store that I frequent. The 12 line wrasse has some nice colors too. I will get those pics up soon.
