I'm same, once in morning once at night.

What if I put on a skimmer... would that help?

^ they are saying that isn't enough for gas exchange though?

65 G and about... 50-60 pounds. I understood when we went after hte goby because both can technically "perch" but the wrasse confused me.

Soooo..... I'll take that as a no? Or is this just an uninteresting question?

Totally missed that. Sorry... I didn't know it had an irritant... Thought it was just aloe... Why would you want to irritate a stressed fish?

^this is not encouraging! Lol. Ok... Well I guess I'll go looking or light difusers.

Why no stress coat?

How big is your tank?!! I learned the hard way... Had 4... now have one.

I have a hoevans wrasse and a starry blenny. Both have been known to jump... Do you think it's safe without?

So are bengai supposedly...

There is a vent above it... Not sure if that's enough. How big of a gap would I need without air movement?

What if I gap the length of the tank in the back 2 inches? Will that let in more O2? Especially if my return pump splashes in that area?

So not just aurface water movement but like a fan? What is eggcrate? And where would I find it? (More detail than lighting section)

When I upgrade (at a 65 right now, working towards upwards of 220) I've considered getting a male and two females... hopping I have better luck than with the green chromis.

I have a lid on my aquarium. Only have about a 1 foot long, 2 inch space in the back half. Is this large enough for "gas exchange" or should I switch to some sort of screen top?

odd... I hear blues are the worst. Stripes seem to have a better rep.

I've heard anthias can, but have never had any, only have a 65 so don't want to push it.

I was frustrated because everywhere I read that they are a "hardy" fish and "peaceful" and they are great for beginners... From my experience the clown was the best purchase I ever made. I had also been told Bengai Cardinals could be kept in groups... started with 4... ended with one.

Original Poster, What did you end up doing? I know it's an old thread, just thought I'd check.
