Love the idea for hanging the scrubber. Simple and effective! Algae still going strong? Rest of the livestock is awesome.

You will like it. It's growing thick 3D mats of algae, easy to clean and loads of tech support from Bud

Lavender was the last to go in QT and I had to do the same thing with the eggcrate the first night. The lavender is staying out of everybody way. The Achilles was the one most upset by the addition, he got upset with them all even thought he was very tolerant of the Naso and the Chevron. They had been in QT for about 6 weeks together

Mine have been separated since Black Friday so I think I could remove the egg crate now? I'm scared as I'm not home for 13 hours a day and wouldn't be able to step in so to say if there were problems
Each does have there own veggie clip
Awesome build by the way

Thank you, there be squabbles and the severity will not be determine until the barrier is removed and hierarchy is determined LOL, I was at work the next day and I had really expected the lavender to be beat all up but fortunately he wasn't. when I'm not medicating the QT I have a large rock and some pvc pipe for hiding places, which I know helps because that where the lavender hangs out,close to his hiding place, so provide him a place to hide and hopefully his survival instincts will keep him in one piece until they decide they can tolerate each others existence. Sometimes it just doesn't work, I had to remove a Clown tang that just hated himself and everybody else. Good luck

Yea clown tangs are punks
See i had all the hiding places but it was a new tang to chevy so he was running scared and kole was tail slapping him. It is truly interesting to see them "fight" but I don't like it as I don't want to see any harm
Thanks for ur input I think I'm going to try it Tom as I have bulked up Chevy and he is now used to his new home
