As requested, here are a few fishy pictures.





Yellow Tangs



Potter's Angel


Some of the ORA fish I got in last week, which include a Blue Mandarin, Canary Blennies, Orchid Dottybacks, Striped Blennies, Yellow Assessors, Sharknose Gobies and Yellow Line Gobies.


This fish is so small that all three have ended up in the external overflow or the sump. This one is on a 1.5" black PVC Durso pipe.










One female Lyretail Anthias


The male Lyretail Anthias






The Lawnmower Blenny


The Potters Angel is stunning


Spock with some Chromis


One of three Yellow Tangs


And a few frags that look great. Taken under 14,000K LED lighting with a flash in Manual mode.





Today our club is doing a Tank Tour, and my tank is included. Hopefully everyone will enjoy seeing a few reef tanks and learning about each setup.

    That's what I'm most jealous of about ya'lls big systems. Your fish! In nanos I can do just about anything except for the amazing tangs and fish numbers. Great pics.... and great fish! :-)

    That is a very nice assortment of fish, Marc. Even in the photos, your reef is starting to look quite busy!

    Love the variety. The tank is truly starting to look like a small piece of the ocean. Lyretail anthias are one of my favorite fish, especially in a harem. I had 6 in my 180 back in the day, bought them all as female since the LFS didn't have a male, and got to watch one to through the transformation.

    those Anthias are beautiful!! they are awesome in groups
    sweet potters, what does he like to eat in your tank?

    I've been watching the Potters and he's only nipping at the rock work all the time. Rather than my corals. Hope that stays his M.O.

    How many Yellow Line Gobies do have? Do they group? Also do you think being so small they/it could easily got lost/become acasualty. I do think is great you have them in there as when they live in the sea most fish have an bigger territories than our tanks, but maybe your tank could be the size of theirs.

    I have three but they are very elusive. Two are in the overflow and I put one in the reef today that was in the sump. I may try putting them in the frag tank instead.

    They are supposedly able to clean fish, but so far I've not seen anything like that.

    All the fish I was holding for my friend were picked up today, and that's a huge relief. I did a little math last night and I have right around 75 fish in my tank at the moment.

    I see the tank is coming along very well. Nice mix of pretty fish and pretty corals. I love how you have so many chromis. I just add a few extra to my tank and I like they way they move around the tank. A lot of people might overlook them but I think they're great. If your tank feels like its lacking some color or movement, I would recommend you get a small school of chromis.
    Good job!!!

    Nice fish. I have one question though. How does the purple tang get along with the 3 yellows? I've heard that the purples don't play well with some other tangs.

    At first the Purple was very aggressive to them, but since there were so many newcomers that aggression subsided within hours.

    Good to know, thanks!! I currently have a purple tang and want to add some other tangs when I move my reef into a new tank but I wasn't real sure how well that would work.
