What size is the qt?

What species of Cirrhilabrus?

Powder blue tang last.

Yellow and purple tang simultaneously toward the end.

Hogfish at the end.

Triggers toward the end as well. The order of the others doesn't really matter too much.

I have a QT room with 2 separate 20Longs and a 90gallon rack system that has 12 compartments

I have a c. Luteovittalus ready for the display now. Thinking of a trio of flame wrasses, a trio of exquisites, and a laboutei.

Is there any specific reason you are doing trios on the flame and exquisites? Males will display towards males of other species. Females almost always transition into males. And males of the same species are quite intolerant of one another.

You are correct, it's been quite awhile since I kept many wrasses. I will stick to single species specimens of wrasses

Forgot the chevron tang for my wife(believe it or not, she loves the adult coloration). I would assume the chevron goes in before the zebrasomas?
 

Looking back to your reefing roots: Did you start with Instant Ocean salt?
