Quick advice please

plahka · 08-09-2008, 02:08 PM

A LFS had a great sale and I picked up a 6 line wrasse kind of impulsively. I was going to get one just not right now. What I need to know is where to put it. I have a 24g aquapod healthy and running well with plenty of livestock capacity left. But I really wanted one for my 90g which is running and all parms are perfect. The 90 has live rock, no sand yet, and no light yet. But the sump is running with a skimmer and heater. Would it be ok to put it in the 90 even though it is incomplete or is the aquapod better. I know I could mov eit later but I really don't want that much trouble. Too many nooks and crannies for it to hide. Please give advice so I can aclimate it. I just got home. Thanks

has the 90 cycled?

plahka · 08-09-2008, 02:13 PM

Yes. Number have been good at least 2 weeks now.

My sand bed will be dry sand so I won't get a cycle from it too.

as long as he has enough light to eat by, he should be fine in the 90

That's what I was hoping for. There's plenty of ambient light. There are even some zoas on a rock that open if the widow shades are up.

With the tank cycled the 6-line should be fine but you may want to re-think adding the 6-line as your first fish. They can be quite agressive.
