just got the shipment in, the only DOA is a pepermint shrimp, but i dont know if the others will live much longer because the royal dottyback is attacking them like crazy so i guess ill have to find some way to catch it.... the place i got it from sent really nice stuff, like i orderd 1 florida ric on a golf ball sized rock, they sent me 3 on a baseball sized rock. Does anyone know a good way to catch the dottyback?

Do you check your Ca level?
Just wondering if your rocks are sucking it up?
When using RO water, the Ca in the water gets filter out some-what.

The clown gobey died shortly after i got it acclimated, i think the royal gamma beat it to death, i really need to get it outta there

Tank looks nice. After reading how your royal was pestering the peppermint shrimp, I am beginning to wonder if mine is mia or has become a meal. I have't saw their eyes glowing in the dark since my blackcap decided to come out of hiding.

my pepermint seem to be out ALOT so yours either found a really good hiding spot, or its probley dead
ive heard that sailfins need 135 gallon + but i figured if its the only tang, and the only large fish it should be ok
