Sorry to hear about the bugs John hope you have gotten rid of them. As for colors I believe you are right besides steady alk and cal numbers I believe lighting and higher nutrient levels are key and what better way to bring up the nutrients then with beautifully colored fish
I used to feel that keeping low numbers meant healthy coral and I was dead wrong. Feeding your tank and Nutrient export I believe Are what to strive for. Corals gotta eat!
As for the ridiculous mark up on fish, I don't see any way around this I guess there is a crazy markup set to cover loses I would hate to see how many fish die from collection, storage and transport before they reach our tanks![]()
Bugs are gone. They are an easy one to get rid of so worries there.
Yeah I'm going to have to bit the bullet and pic up a few fish. Luckily I'm not the kind that has to have expensive fish. I do want a Regal though so I guess he can finish off the zoas that haven't shrunk down to nothing yet
