The plan this weekend is to move the the fish in the Nano tank; Boomerang, Comet and Darty, into the main tank. We've had the coral babies, Eddie and Freddie, in there for four weeks now and they are both lively and feeding so I don't think further quarantine time is necessary. I've just been to the fish shop to get a big barrel of water so will do a water change in the main tank tomorrow morning and then move the fish over. That will definitely be the fun bit as Boomerang and Comet are now quite territorial of their Nano tank and are not keen on us poking about in it. Darty will also be a challenge as he loves his cave. We may have to move the rocks to get him I think.
I've also reset the light sequence so that the blue lights come on for one hour before the white ones and go off one hour after the white lights. That way there is a more gradual light on and off sequence which should be better for the fish and the corals. We got some free Zoanthids with our live rock. They are small corals. Ours are purple and green and look pretty cool.
The coral babies will soon have to share their huge home with bossy Boomerang! That'll be a shock for them! I'll give both tanks some garlic tonight to try keep them calm for the big move tomorrow.
