Great setup.
How long have you had the wrasses?
How long has the tank been barebottom?

Thank you. I have been bare bottom on my last 3 tanks. I love the look of sand, but have never been able to keep it clean enough for my liking.

All of my wrasses are of the genus Cirrhilabrus. They do not sleep in the sand like the Halichoeres, Novaculichthys and other genera.

Cool
How are their temperaments with one another?

Fairy Wrasses typically will get along fine together, they are pretty docile. If you have a large male, like my Lineatus, they will show a new fish who's boss for a day or so, but nothing too horrible. I have heard that flame wrasses can be more agressive than other fairies, but I have never had one.

very nice, you did top out the 30.
did you get the new one already?
can't wait to see what you do with the 68.

Great success! Will you share with us what you think has led to your success?

Thank you. I have the tank on order. Will take a while to get everything together before the switch. I am excited to get more SPS.

Thank you. I think the 2 biggest success factors have been a 2 part doser to keep Calcium and Alk steady and my Radion Pro G3. I will be adding a second one to the new tank.

lineatus stopped eating and perished 3 months ago. labouti is doing fine. I now have the labouti, longfin and a red head/solar wrasse that all get along great.
