Rishu's Really Ridiculous Reef: a 96x20x20 penny tank build

Your tank looks beautiful

Do you have any Bowing in your glass? In looking at doing something similar in a 6'er and noticed you were only using 12mm glass. I was thinking I should be using 15mm

Thank you, that's the wife's handiwork.

Generally we group the corals together in categories, like zoas, euphyllia, mushrooms. It seems to work though with LEDs the growth is probably slower than MH, but without a canopy it looks nicer in the home decor.

No there isn't as far as I can tell. There's a 3" eurobrace on top all around so structural integrity isn't an issue.

Thanks Mindy! Your Onyx clowns have been here for a year now. The bigger one pretty much gained all the black, while the smaller (assumed male) still has a ways to go! Really hoping to see babies, if they spawn we'll set up a breeding tank.

They've worked things out with the lone skunk clown, who usually stays in the big hammer in the morning and the toadstool during lights out.

I love clowns but due to the Onyx's being so aggressive I'm hesitant to add any more.

Thank you. Peninsula is the only way to go, IMO. With two long side viewings, you're basically getting two tanks!

Have been considering this for a while but we are set on converting this tank to a mostly FOWLR/mushrooms/softie tank, and setting up a separate zoa nano tank for Joanne's zoas (see B&S for the massive LPS sale ).

Definitely want a juvenile emperor angel and see it slowly transform into adulthood.

What other non-reef safe (coral eating lol) would one recommend? I like anything that's less commonly kept. Nothing too aggressive of course.

All 3 are good suggestions and fish that I have definitely thought about, but I am slightly wary of their supposed aggressive natures..? (maybe not so much the HT)
