SDguy's 240g FOWLR upgrade!

[acronautical]

Looks awesome Peter. I like how during the feeding frenzy one of the Personifiers is just hanging stationary while the cleaner wrasse goes to it.
Does the wrasse clean each fish in a systematic way each day, or just randomly (whoever needs cleaning gets cleaned)?

Thanks Steve... the wrasse actually doesn't do a whole lot of cleaning, some quick passes on a fish here and there and that's about it.

Well he's in QT and looking much better! What a gorgeous fish!

Another update... I installed a Tunze 6255 with controller on the tank. Wow, is all I have to say. Big thanks to Marc and the folks at AW for hooking me up. The flow is amazing for such a relatively small pump.

[SDguy]

Ugh.. I hate the aw guys. They make me buy so much lol

[Aquatic Warehouse]

Sorry Peter

I still think that giant Maori Wrasse would make a nice addition to the tank
