video and fts of my 112 gallon mixed reef

[corpusse]

I don't post a ton here but often read the forums. In addition to this tank which is my main tank I have a 90 gallon cuttlefish reef (softy dominated). It's still very new and home to just one cuttlefish but my reef tank is nearing the fully stocked point.

Really happy with things lately

Great looking tank corpusse..

How long has the tank been running? and can you post a fish list?

[Delphinus]

Wow, really nice!

It's on its 4th year but there have been many disasters. Brown Jelly wiped out much of my tank at one point. Defective epoxy killed most of my fish. Then finally stray voltage from two of 3 korila 4's killed all of my snails then caused massive die offs.

All the bad stuff aside some stuff has been with me long term. The sunrise clownfish are more then 3 years old. A few corals are 3-4 years but most are within the last 1-2 years.

Fish list :
sunrise clownfish pair - they laid eggs once and once only
dwarf fuzzy fin lionfish
cheveron tang - changing to adult but a great worker
powdered brown tang
hawaiian flame wrasse
labouti wrasse (great barrier reef version)
golden rhomboid wrasse
blue sided fairy wrasse
christmas wrasse
female mandarin - hides a lot but is out and about a couple of times a day

any good closeup pics of the sunrise clowns?

[globaldesigns]

I must say, very beautiful... I am hoping mine can look like yours in 4 years.

Keep up the great work!

[fishytime]

INCREDIBLE!
Great Color! Really love your tank! Thanks for sharing.
Does your Christmas wrasse leave your inverts alone?

[corpusse]

I'll find some closeups of the clowns tomorrow.

The xmas wrasse does not bother snails. I do not keep shrimp the lionfish would be more of a problem then the wrasse. The lion gets along fine with all fish even the tiny mandarin. I wouldn't risk adding a small goby or something but he's well trained (and fed) and eats frozen mysis.

Here's an old pic of the clowns from about a year ago

That is the same RBTA but after the last crash involving the Korilas leaking electricity it shrunk up and has never gotten back to the way things were. The anemone is one of the older creatures in my tank I've had it about 3.5 years. It has split roughly 20 times but the last 6 or so have all been bleached and the colour still is not quite back. Hopefully one day it will return to its glory.

As for the christmas wrasse he does not bother snails. I don't keep shrimps because he would eat them

The dwarf lion that is. I don't think the christmas wrasse would them. that photo is also old. He's full grown and about 6" now. He may be a dwarf but he's about as long as my tangs and by far the fattest fish in the tank.

Took some photos today :

They are quite the pair. They are semi mated. They spend a lot of time together but then give each other space. As mentioned my giant rbta has never recovered but there are a few smaller ones in the tank as well. Sometimes they share one sometimes they go into separate ones. They laid eggs exactly once and before I could even receive my rotifers they had stopped laying and never have again.
