it never usualy works unless its a huge tank and i mean huge

I am wondering what you call huge. ? I don't regret trying, resulting in no deaths or tragedy all aggressors removed from tank immediately & moved to new homes. I personally think my tank is in the slightly larger side with minimal rock maximum hiding holes & plenty of swim room. I spoke to guy who has 2 shouls &. 2 Achilles & he says that the fact they are becoming territorial is actually a compliment that we have done a good job replicating a reef they wish to own & if that was not the case then we would actually have less aggression. So interesting. !

yes your tank is larger then most i would not add more then 1 in less then 1000 L. Would be intresting where this guy you mentioned gets his info from. Sounds like he s trying to make himself feel better for cramming to many large fish into a tank.

No he's a highly successful reef keeper & has had this tank with that collection for 8 yrs. been reefing for over 20yrs. Has been a huge help to us over the last few months. It's really sad that he has to keep such a low profile on his successes because of judgements & comments. I understand what your saying if fish are chucked in with no concern or regard. But I can assure you in our case this did NOT happen. Would also like to point out our tank is well over 1000lts. So I still say there was no harm in trying.

i never had a go at you i had the issue with the 200 L tank. And i dont care how well he thinks his tank is his info sounds incorrect.the fish he mentioned would need about 3000 L those fish

Hmm. I never said he had a 200lt tank. He actually as similar to us 1200ltr. Unless I miss typed.

no im talking about the other guy who posted. But yes that size tank ImO for those fish would still be to small. and agresion in a closed system is never a good sign of anything

The 4 Centropyges got on quite well. What works for one might not work for someone else. I miscalculated, it was a 250 litre tank, 70 gallons.
