Re: Bored with my Tank, time for change.

Travis, I'm been playing with the idea for a while now. I'm glad I'm not the only one who's wanted to try it. My interest was peaked this weekend when I saw three Pomacentrus bankanenis (pictured below) and thought they are the nicest damsels I have seen yet.

MPS: I appreciate your comments on how the damsels fight in the store. I've seen damsel holding tanks at the LFS as well and haven't noticed any aggression among them however I did notice a lot of nipped fins and wasn't sure if that was caused by them being kept together in the tank or if it was from when thye were collected and transported.

What do you think about keeping only members of the genus Chrysiptera and Pomacentrus? Most of them are less aggressive and stay smaller then the Neoglyphidodon or Dascyllus (humbugs). I want to avoid the Chromis genus as they aren't nearly as hardy as the other damsels and do better in a larger tank with a large number of them.

LOL I've known that for a long time and it's also one of the reasons I get annoyed when people always assume that everyone needs MH lighting on a tank for the SPS corals. Personally I find them boring. I much rather the little buttons and leathers and things that you can see moving around in the currents.
