Lookin good so far James! Is your fish list complete or do you still plan on adding a few others??
Ehh I think I am about at my limit of large fish, other than I'd like to add a hippo tang eventually. Can you tell I love my tangs?? Secret to getting all my zebrasoma tangs to coexist peacefully was to add them all at the same time and get all the yellows small. Now they all actually kinda school together, pretty neat. Other than that, was thinking about doing a small harem of Flame wrasses or a pair of Lineatus or Rhomboid wrasses as my final additions. Something a little less common.
Currently have:
Male Blonde Naso
Desjardinii Sailfin
Purple Tang
3 Yellow Tangs
Powder Blue Tang
Richmond's Wrasse
Leopard Wrasse
Yellow Coris Wrasse
2 Filamented Flasher Wrasses
Mated pair of Occy's
I have always loved my angels as well but have loved my brains/zoos/LPS just slightly more...once my SPS grow out a bit and I dont need my LPS to "fill in" the tank I may consider off-ing all the LPS and zoos for a couple nice large angels. Always been a sucker for a Red Sea Regal or a nice Scribbled...
Wellll pretty much feel like I got kicked in the balls. Over the past 3 days I have lost every single fish in the tank (minus the yellow coris and leopard wrasse) to a case of marine velvet...
At first I suspected ich so started soaking all food in garlic extreme as all the fish were still eating good and praying to God that the couple that showed early signs would fight it off so I would not have to rip the entire tank apart, and then by the time I realized it was velvet almost overnight the eyes of the the fish were completely clouded over and they literally were keeling over as fast as I could pull them out...
Sooo just kinda waiting to see what happens with these 2 wrasses and will have to leave the tank fishless for 6+ weeks. In my almost 7 years in the hobby this is the first time I have experienced velvet and never ever again will I add another fish to my tank without proper QT'ing...Let this be a lesson to all.
And the most frustrating part of all is that my Corals are growing better than I've ever seen them...the polyp extension on the SPS is fantastic...but yet I can't keep a single fish alive. One of the things that really makes me second guess what I'm doing in this hobby...
