I currently have a 29 Biocube equipped with a 150w MH so it should make a perfect SPS qt tank. I'm currently using it for hypo on a few fish for a friend and I personally have a 6 line wrasse in the tank. My debate is if I should leave the 6 line wrasse in the tank when converting it to an SPS frag/QT. I have a separate frag tank they will go into after a qt period.
my issues:
6 line will help with pests and also provide nutrients in the tank to help keep bacteria levels up.
vs
Keeping a 6 line could promote ich if frags have a cyst on it. This could cause the ich to get into main display after transferring frags into the display.
This has me torn. The 6 line can go into the DT if that's what decided so no loss there. I almost feel like it's choosing between healthy SPS or fish. Easier to replace fish then SPS colonies. Just curious to see if any of you have some experiences with this.
