So it took me about 4 hours, had to literally take out every single piece of liverock to the the anthias trio!! Little bastards... Gave me the chance to redo my rock work along with the new sick tonga branch I picked up from Matt [MENTION=6028]Fly5150[/MENTION] thanks dude!! Big water change, 5 fish out to reduce bioload, fish are happy with new rock work. Made more holes and more open areas between rocks for better flow and more for the fish to roam thru!

Looks GREAT!

Beware you might have die off or moved rocks that had debris under them. If I were you id watch the tank carefully and have a water change ready.

Yeah when I was reading your thread about catching anthias my thoughts were oh man gonna have to remove the rock and they hide inside the rock. Well I speak from experience as I had to remove everything also. Looks good on the branches

I love your fish Miguel... I wish I had the ballz to try those angels but I like my zoas and palys too much. Have you lost any specific corals to them nipping?

What anthias did you remove and were they aggressive or something?

Thanks!! My emperor destroyed a colony of radioactive dragon eye so I just saved myself the trouble n removed them all. Fish only is good for me right now, easier to maintain. I removed a trio of lyretail anthias, 1male, 2females. Male was a bit aggressive, but i took fish out mainly to reduce bioload. Took out the 3 & 2 pajama cardinals. Im taking my clowns out once I get my cube going, gonna try and clean it up tomorrow. Try too....
