Re: Dr Marco's Reef Build
Yeah Rigo, only 5 weeks. It helps having established and mature water and rock to steal from another tank to be able to jump start a rockin' system.
Biff, I agree that the anthias are the prize of the tank. It seems complete with them in there. -Doc Current Aquarium(s) Description: 210 gal "Shark Reef" With Angelfish and 90 gal reef tank Experience in Saltwater & Reef Aquarium Hobby: long enough to know I have a lot to learn

Re: Dr Marco's Reef Build
Tank looks great and the Bartletts look almost as good as mine.I thought that was my lobo?Anyhow it looks nice.
Your tank pics looks better than usual.You get a new camera,photo editing software or did you get Lionfish to do your dirty work for you?

Re: Dr Marco's Reef Build
And here I though you were too lazy to do that.
Doc,your anthias look like all males.Is it okay to add male Barletts to a tank with a male already?

Re: Dr Marco's Reef Build
From the research I have recently been doing, more than one male will usually fight. However, they are hermaphroditic (like clowns) so, if one establishes dominance, the others will eventually turn into females.

Re: Dr Marco's Reef Build
I've read a little different story.If you don't have a large enough school of anthias that some become males.In the wild,its usually one dominant male,several sub-males and many females.I only have two Barletts and the female has turned into a sub-male.No fighting whatsoever.If I add two females they have a better chance of staying females since there's already a dominant male and a sub male.I was wondering if I add a male will it become a sub-male.I've been reading some thread on RC about Bartlett's.They have a weird social order but I still love them.

Re: Dr Marco's Reef Build
it is worth the risk. If you add more than one at a time, you have a better shot at making them friendly. Since you already have two, add 2-3 more and you will be fine. All mine get along great. It is hard to know which are male, but there already has been a dominate male that has emerged. It doesn't take long for them to establish a social order. You will be fine.
