About the Green Chromis.....
After put the group with 13 fishes in the display tank, 2 weeks ago, I lose 3 of them. 1 of the big ones, of my previous group and 2 of the medium ones, died too. Now they are 2 big, 1 medium and 10 small ones. Untill now the results are not encouraging at all. A "plus": one of the big ones now is chasing the small ones when I got close to the tank, thinking that I'm going to feed them..... My female squamipinis died overnight. It was the first anthias that get in to the tank, almost a year and a half ago. Another specie that I must give up. The bright side: The trigger is very active, it's eating a lot...I mean, a loooooooooottttttt .He's a peacefull fish and, untill now, didn't pay no attention to corals, clams, and etc. Due to that, I've cut down the amino dosing to the half. The balance of the tank has changed a lot and my sps are really deeper in color as my lps and soft are much more inflated. And that's it. Sometimes we win.....and sometimes we don't.

Its a balancing act in these tanks and I'm glad there are some nice positives to offset the loss of your fish.

Not only is your tank amazing; your photography skills are equally impressive.

Wow, one of the best aquascaped tanks I have seen, and your coral placement is almost perfection! I am looking forward to updates.

That's too bad. Maybe check out this thread: http://reefcentral.com/forums/showthread.php?t=2660626
Just a thought. I may try it out if I ever get my 210 set up.

I apreciate. I'm trying too keep my initial goal of keep an wide open space, not filling up every inch of sand with frags... From time to time some sps must be trimmed and I move things to keep the overall aspect clean and organized. Recently I sold 3 big colonies (yongei, tortuosa turquoise adn milepora eletric green) to open some room..... And that's it.

Some Updates:
- Only 2 Chromis remain from the group of 15. Counting the old ones there are now 5 in the tank. - To balance, I ended up getting some fish (8 in total) that I wanted some time with the Eco-Reef Ornamentals. I took another pseudochromis sankeyi, to pair with my old one and probably to form a couple. Also I got 2 fridmaniis, 1 Springerii and 4 gobys: 2 neons and 2 tigers. None of them are fishes of open spaces. The pseudochromis were allocated on the big island. All 5 are there and they're doing quite well together. The neons are still a little lost ..... near the front glass, in the corner. I hope they meet a spot soon and move from there to some point on the rocks. I had a couple once and the behavior was pretty cool. The tigers disappeared when they arrived and I still can not locate any of the 2 ...... Inconvenient of a tank too big .... They are very small and almost transparent fish. I knew the chance of this happening was enormous but I wanted to risk it anyway because I think they are very interesting. I hope they'll get out of hiding and start moving around the tank. I know they have a behavior similar to neon gobies. Despite this general demeanor, I got what I wanted that was to take a bustling in the tank, and create other points of attention. I sold almost in sequence my colonies of milepora eletric green, tortuousa turquoise and yongei green. They were too big and too difficult to fit into the layout. As one of my goals is to deviate from the original layout as little as possible, I preferred to sell them. But I kept seedlings of the yongei and the millepora and they're still in tank. In contrast, I add new frags of chalice, lepastastrea and one of the last sps that must come: a purple solitariensis with very beautiful green tips. No other significant loss or any other big change. Now it's time to leave the tank quiet about 2 or 3 months ...
