Hi there I'm new

[zarqy]

Just wanted to say hi.  Just registered as a new member.  I'm from St. Thomas (near London).  New to the hobby (only 4 months) but I'm loving it.  There's so many ideas out there and I look forward to reading some of yours.

Lots of knowledge here, I couldn't have done it without this site.

I hadn't heard there was a London frag fest.  When is it?

Not a great shot but it was taken a few weeks ago.  Will take more soon.

Have you really got all those fish in there? I feel like my tank is way under stocked lol. How do you keep your sand so clean? Are your yellow chromis the ones from IA(Amblyglyphidodon ternatensis
) ?how do you like them? I just ordered a few, do they school?

Yes I sure do

Skimmer, refugium, filter floss every now and then.  I vac the substrate when it gets dirty.  All in all just keeping on top of things
Are your yellow chromis the ones from IA(Amblyglyphidodon ternatensis
) ?
Yes
how do you like them?
I really like them.  They definitely liven up the display.  Mine are at a few different sizes so that's kind neat.
I just ordered a few, do they school?

Sorta.  I'd say they school about 75% of the time but there is always one away from the rest on watch.  It's not always the same fish they take turns.  I've read you shouldn't have odd numbers. Not sure why.  That's why I got 6 instead of 5.

It's usually the opposite iirc, you want odd numbers.. 5 is better than 6

 

[zarqy]

Maybe... Who knows. My 6 get along together just fine though.

I got 5, they seem quite happy together. As you said, always one stray one scoping out the lay of the land .
