Wow those two look great together! Can’t wait to see them in the display.
Im happy now that the Flame came out of hiding. All 3 fish appear very healthy compared to some Ive received from regular LA - Cali. Ive lost both a Rhomboid and Flame from them in the past within 48 hours of receiving them.

Pintail is one of my favorites for sure. The one I lost to Velvet was the Fairy that started it all for me. Bought as a small female and watched it turn over 2.5 years into a beautiful male.

RIP

Love seeing Biocube. Wrasses are looking beautiful.
Its funny, I rarely think to post shots of the Biocube. Being a bedroom tank it gets ignored more than it should.

I miss my pink margin, I will have another one someday soon. Beautiful one you have there Scurvy!
He sure is pretty! Took a few days for him to settle in but once he did his colors shifted dramatically deeper.

Hows your battle going? Last I saw you had rebooted the display.

It's going great! The DT is looking better than ever. Zero fish losses since they went into QT. I have learned a great deal going through all of it. I am still very sad of the losses I had because so many of them were my fav's. But now that I understand the meds and the copper, qt will become a standard process. I told my buddy at the lfs I thought he might have a problem, he disagreed with me. A week later he fessed up and told me he took 5 fish home and lost 4 of the 5 in his tank. Now he wants me to show him how to qt (like I'm an expert...lol). If it wasn't for the fine folks on here I wouldn't have recovered with as many fish as I did.

This is great to hear... a little backwards as far as the LFS goes but at least he’s onboard. Hopefully he’s implementing at the shop and not just what he brings home.

Glad you’re happy with the tank!

52% off they’re claiming!! Ive never purchased from them based on reviews Ive seen but often check to see what they have for stock compared to others...It can sometimes clue me in on what might be appearing soon elsewhere. They MUST be CRAZY!

Hooked up with another member today to pick up the zoa haul Rich posted above. Great meeting you @thejuice24 and chatting for a few.

From there we swung by an LFS for food. Food and ah, 4 Lyretail Anthias.... yup impulse city. Look quite healthy but we’re isolating them for an observation period anyway. Everythings acclimating as we speak so pics will have to wait.
